10 The limitations of the energy infrastructure 2010 UK heat & electricity hourly demand variability Design point for heat delivery system?? Peak electricity demand will exceed electrical grid capacity in future Design point for electricity delivery system Source: Energy Technologies Institute, 2012 Delta-ee: Experts in Heat & Distributed Energy 10

11 Number of appliances (%) What happens under a more balanced scenario? Balanced Transition a wider mix of technologies 100% 75% Heat networks Role for electric HP, hybrid, gas HP, micro- CHP storage, demand response 90% carbon emissions reduction 50% Electric Half the additional peak capacity required in the full electrification & heat networks scenario (24 instead of 48 GW) 25% 0% Gas Half the infrastructure investment costs required in full electrification (half of 16 28bn distribution grid, 4bn gas grid shut-down) Delta-ee: Experts in Heat & Distributed Energy 11 Source: Delta-ee Report for the Energy Networks Association - Balanced Transition Scenario

13 upfront cost annual running cost Customer proposition for low carbon technologies The upfront cost of low carbon technology will fall over time. But running cost savings alone may not be enough especially without incentives Policy intervention is the market will be critical for new low carbon technologies gas boiler gas boiler time time Delta-ee: Experts in Heat & Distributed Energy 13

14 2012 installations In reality, there are challenges gaining customer buy-in Air source heat pump sales in 2012 Majority of the market Social Housing Owner occupiers are challenging 16,000 No customer pull? Renewables very rarely feature in my customers list of desires customers go off the idea with price and complexity of installation 12,000 Self-build Developer Installer 8,000 4,000 0 Social Housing new build Owner occupier Social Housing - retrofit Costly & time-consuming? The primary barriers to renewables are the cost and time for training, and for membership of an approved body. and there is a lack of interest from my customers Delta-ee: Experts in Heat & Distributed Energy 14 Source: Delta-ee Microgen Insight Service

15 In reality, there are challenges gaining customer buy-in Lack of awareness / trust? I want information from someone who does not have a vested interest in selling it [I would want] documented evidence that these [fuel bill] savings can be delivered I don t know how safe it is I would need a much longer warranty Too expensive? A big concern is the actual upfront cost finding the capital would be difficult if someone said they d put it in for free, I d say no problem, do it. Difficult customer journey so far? I want information from someone who does not have a vested interest in selling I m standing here with 8K and saying somebody please come and give me one of these things and the industry is saying no customer Customers don t like change? I don t really see the need to be changing my system [my gas boiler] is just very effective Delta-ee: Experts in Heat & Distributed Energy 15 Source: Delta-ee Microgen Insight Service

17 A glimpse into the future.? Business models We are selling a lot of heat pumps for multifamily homes in Switzerland because of the heat contracting offer from local utilities Major European Heat Pump Manufacturer Removing the risk of poor performance through a real ESCo is key to gaining consumer confidence in a new heating system Wolfram Moritz, MPW Legal & Tax (ESCo expert) Delta-ee: Experts in Heat & Distributed Energy 17 Source: Delta-ee Heat Pump Service

18 A glimpse into the future.? Connectivity Microsoft has a long term plan that has the console as the center of an automated home system ABB, Bosch, Cisco & LG Consortium Develops Open Standard for Smart Home Appliances monitor and control the heating & domestic hot water comfort save energy, heating costs and environment simple, easy to understand heat pump controls and remote diagnostics Delta-ee: Experts in Heat & Distributed Energy 18

19 UK one of leading countries in Europe for connected home energy products Annual sales of connected home energy products Battle between the utilities offering low cost, low functionality products 10,000s 1,000s 100s or less Delta-ee: Experts in Heat & Distributed Energy 19 Source: Delta-ee Connected Home Service

20 Changing our relationship with heating: How will connectivity support the low carbon transition? Builds consumer confidence through performance visibility Better control / more intelligence lower running costs Remote diagnostics reducing poor performance and reducing servicing costs Enables demand side participation in energy markets...

21 This presentation New low carbon heating technology will be important in the UK technologies to displace gas boilers are critical to achieve decarbonisation The limitations of the energy system infrastructure create a need for a balanced transition involving many technologies with a role for electricity and gas Gaining customer buy-in to low carbon technologies is critical incentives will help but there is still a need for awareness-raising, information dissemination and a strong focus on a positive customer journey Disruptive business models can support this change in the heating sector through breaking down customer barriers (e.g. upfront cost, risk ) Connectivity in the home can be a positive driver of low carbon heating through enhancing the customer experience, and changing out relationship with our heating system Delta-ee: Experts in Heat & Distributed Energy 21
