- 12. Pioneering A New Model for Community Renewable Energy by Andrew Clarke The Resilience Centre @ Coop Community Energy Conference 19th October 2013
- 13. A Social Purpose Business - aims to help build resilience in society in the context of climate change and diminishing resources. Self Financed – No direct grants or state aid Community Renewables - we aim to remove barriers to entry and maximise returns to the community and local economy, through our Resilient Energy partnerships All our profits are reinvested in our social purpose business 13
- 14. Challenges – Community Joint Ownership Need to provide a low risk/low cost entry for Communities/Landholders by removing majority of the „At Risk‟ Planning & Development costs eg £45-60k risked instead of £180k-£240k+ for a wind turbine Need to ensure only suitable projects are progressed – we screen 10+ Projects for every one that proceeds 14
- 15. Challenges - Community Joint Ownership • Needs a simple model to ensure maximum returns for Communities – easy to lose all revenue on Admin & „Reinventing the Planning Wheel‟ on Community Projects • Getting everyone to pull together, often easier if a skilled 3rd party can steer project around pitfalls • Skill in negotiating a proportionate response by regulators not defined in NPPF – Community projects are disproportionately affected by one size fits all approach 15
- 16. Successes of the Joint Ownership Approach Ensures communities make best use of any available funds, we deliver projects for between 12-25% of typical costs for 50% equity Ensures landowners are engaged and fairly rewarded without them communities seldom achieve projects Resilience facilitates growth of social capital in bringing together projects to grow skills in local construction & support services We share standard legal documents and financial models further reducing costs and timescales Our model is very flexible, we are working on multiple equity parties Community-Landowner-Ourselves 16
- 17. How Value Generated is Shared Community „Crowd Funding‟ Investors get ~= 38% Gross Revenue (8% Return on Capital) JV Equity Partners ~= 23-25% Gross Revenue Local Community gets 4% of Gross Revenue as a Community Fund ~ £20k/yr We work to ensure local social capital is developed for installation, operation & maintenance ~= 16% Gross Revenues for O&M with Apprenticeships established We share standardised documents to allow local professional services to setup & manage operational projects ~= 7% Gross Revenues We close the loop on energy provision by working with Coop Energy to facilitate communities to buy back energy & share in benefits of supply as well as generation 17

- 27. Benefits to the National Trust • Financial – cost savings and income generation • Accessing funding and support – ‘at risk’ development funding • Supporting policies “These types of projects make a place more special” – Going Local, Fit for the Future • Other benefits – inspiration, awareness, reputation, efficiency
- 28. Risks to the National Trust • Development, operational & reputational risks • Opportunity costs • Regulatory risks
- 29. Opportunities • • • • • Many potential sites Community energy catalyst New sources of income Connect people & landscape Seen as valuable and relevant “We have a huge potential to harness the resources we own and manage.” Constraints • • • • • Limited resources Opportunity costs Organisational priorities Legality / regulation Organisational purpose “We need to be clear about how important such approaches are to the Trust and why.”
- 30. “Bees and Trees” “The bees are the small organisations, individuals and groups who have the new ideas, and are mobile, quick and able to cross-pollinate. The ‘trees’ are the big organisations - governments, companies or big NGOs which are poor at creativity but generally good at implementation, and which have the resilience, roots and scale to make things happen. Both need each other.” Mulgan et al, 2006 “When Bees Meet Trees: How large social sector organisations can help scale social innovation” by Owen Jarvis and Ruth Marvel, 2012 Clore Social Fellows

- 61. Getting Started ……..or who dares wins Clare Hierons 19th October, 2013 energising communities
- 62. Pure Leapfrog – What we do We provide: • Low cost debt to finance, part finance or refinance renewables projects • Professional expertise to help with the non-financial barriers
- 63. Where to start….? • The pioneers fought to get their projects off the ground • The battle isn’t over but its now time to start professionalising and ? standardising ? • So what have we learned? ? ? ?
- 64. Sun Tzu, The Art of War “Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory”
- 65. “He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight” Pick your battles - don’t re-invent the wheel It’s not about limiting your ambition! Every project is unique, but: • Use tried and tested techniques and technologies • Learn from others
- 66. “He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.” Know your strengths but acknowledge your limits • Community project teams wear many hats • Work out which ones fit • Be honest (but confident) • Be clear on capacity of volunteers
- 67. “He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.” Common purpose • Projects will need a lot of energy – everyone needs to be on the same page • Make sure everyone is agreed on the ‘why?’ even if the ‘what?’ moves around • Know how will you make decisions when the goalposts move
- 68. “He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.” You need a plan • Work out what you don’t know • Plan to plan • Stay agile!
- 69. “He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.” Leadership • Absolutely essential to the success of any project • Needs support of the team • Mustn’t be afraid to ask for help Interference is another issue – hopefully improving!

- 102. Overview 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The state of play The paradigm shift we need The role of government? “The Community Renewables Economy” How should government respond? Next steps 102
- 103. The state of play • • • • • Failings of the state and the market The UK’s energy market 30 licenced suppliers vs Germany’s 900 0.3% community renewables vs Germany’s 46% Localities have been airbrushed out of the market 103
- 104. The paradigm shift we need Communities should be enabled to participate in the market, not be subject to it 104
- 105. The role of government Buerger Energie St-Peter Government should provide the policy framework to enable community energy to flourish 105

- 112. How should government respond? 1. Incentivise joint ownership 2. Broker partnership opportunities 3. Profile leading local authorities and develop good models of co-operation 4. Encourage local institutions to act as financial intermediaries 5. Dissolve the planning barriers 6. Enable wider participation: Community Commissions 112
- 113. Next steps • • • • Beyond individual generation Participation in wider local market Opportunities for local demand and supply Incorporate role of communities in wider energy market reform • Transform energy infrastructure and market to a model that benefits all 113
- 116. Connection and route to market issues 19 October 2013 Ben Hall
- 117. What I will cover… Connection issues for community energy projects – – – – what the problems are what is being done what can be learned from other countries‟ experience recommendations Competition in short-term and long-term offtake market – FiT generators opting out of export tariff – market shares and activity of smaller suppliers The CfD FiT – government actions to improve offtake market • better understanding, targeted interaction, but needed now
- 118. Connection issues (1) Cooperatives UK asked us to consider issues faced by community energy projects with network connections – Overcoming grid connection issues for community energy projects Several barriers in connection process were identified, including: – Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) vary significantly in timeliness and consistency and this has impact on project timescales and costs of connection; – a number of process issues should be standardised with adoption of best-practice by DNOs; – high and variable connection cost quotations, dependent upon location, can cause surprises and derail projects; and – grid reinforcement can be a major problem for community schemes as it has the potential to significantly increase costs
- 119. Connection issues (2) Case studies We have had access to project details, including connection costs, for 21 community schemes that have suffered grid connection issues Substantial variation in cost of connection – £150,000/MW to £7.4mn/MW 19 of the projects reported very expensive connection costs as being primary reason for projects being reduced in size, delayed or abandoned – many of these were less than 1MW – projects scaled down to ensure they were financially viable
- 120. Connection issues (3) DNO actions DNOs have made some progress with communicating with generators – DG forum is an annual event led by the regulator • meetings start in London next week – a new licence condition was imposed in Apr 2010 on DNOs to make more information publically-available – DG Standards Direction took effect from Oct 2010 • budget estimations for connection, quotations, and post connection scheduling More still needs to be done to improve: – the transparency and predictability of grid connection processes and charges; and – the communication channels between the DNOs and generators
- 121. Connection issues (4) International comparison Other European countries have more focused policies to support community energy projects Costs of connections are socialised in Denmark and renewables receive priority grid access – this is despite many changes to government policies over the past 10 years as clear grid connection policy is in place Grid connection process in Germany is transparent – generator receives a detailed timetable for grid connection – renewables also receive priority access to the grid – almost a half of all renewable energy projects are communityowned
- 122. Connection issues (5) Recommendations Provide priority grid access to community energy projects Allow community projects to pay back site-specific connection costs over time – one option is through perhaps through FiT payments over 20 years Connection offers based on standard cost assessments with differences recovered in general cost recovery by DNOs Socialisation of wider costs of reinforcement to reduce financial burden of works on one generator – combination of these two recommendations is that overall cost of achieving connection to grid is “shallow”, not “deep” A further six informational remedies to improve transparency, consistency and communication
- 123. Route to market (1) Long-term power purchase agreements (PPA) Issues for offtakers (acknowledged by DECC, Baringa) – economic climate has made lenders increasingly risk averse – risks of managing PPAs (including balancing costs) have led to higher discounts – Big Six generally don‟t need Rocs – becoming increasingly difficult for community energy and other independents to obtain bankable long-term PPAs
- 124. Route to market (2) Short-term PPAs Larger FiT generators have tended to opt out of the guaranteed export tariff in favour of taking export to market – in some cases this has seen generator almost double its export revenue Generation tariff within FiTs can be seen by lenders as a floor price – projects can sell power in more competitive short-term offtakes – discounts to full value of 2%-10% in short-term vs. 10%+ in longterm Community energy projects will be able to receive FiT for schemes up to 10MW – provides further optionality for projects
- 125. Route to market (3) Share of small-scale FiT capacity by supplier Many independent suppliers punching above their weight Good Energy has more FiT customers than retail supply customers
- 126. Route to market (4) How will CfD impact the market? CfD FiTs should “eliminate price risk, lower cost of capital and pull through investment” Not the full picture – significantly increase in market complexity vs. RO and FiT RO and FiT • • • • Relatively simple Well documented Quick to accredit No allocation risk CfD • • • Allocation rules being defined First-come-first-served Supply chain plan for larger projects – do not diminish need for PPAs – systematic disadvantage once auctions kick in?
- 127. Route to market (5) Backstop offtaker (PPA of last resort) DECC recognises the PPA issue and has put forward a proposal for a backstop offtaker – guaranteed route to market for generators with guarantees on all revenues for output at a fixed % of strike price – costs or benefits associated with offtaker are socialised across market By effectively providing a floor price it may lead to more projects able to sell in short-term PPAs Should enable increased competition in PPAs
- 128. Key points Grid connection complexity and cost is a major barrier for community energy projects – connection costs can be a postcode lottery and disproportionate to the scheme – 10 recommendations put forward to help community energy projects connect to the grid Renewables projects struggling to achieve “fair value” for their output through long-term PPAs – small-scale FiT scheme is seeing projects able to sell in more competitive short-term PPAs – CfD most suited to companies able to trade directly – DECC is acting to improve PPA market for CfD projects through backstop PPA proposal, but needed now
