6 THE SCOTTISH CONTEXT The Scottish Government renewable energy target - to generate the equivalent of 100% of Scotland s electricity demand from renewable sources by 2020 Economic strategy to work towards further social equality and the reduction in fuel poverty Climate Change (Scotland) Act legally binding carbon reduction targets STA Scotland launched in March

7 EESSH - AN INTRODUCTION EESSH was launched in March 2014 It was developed to improve the energy efficiency of Scotland s social housing stock EESSH sets a single minimum Energy Efficiency (EE) rating for Social Landlords to achieve The minimum rating varies depending on the dwelling type and the fuel type used to heat it Must be achieved by 31 st December 2020

8 M I NIMUM EE RATINGS House Type Heating Type Gas Electric Flat Four-in-a-block Houses (not detached) Detached Houses 60 60

9 EESSH - AN INTRODUCTION The standard does not prescribe a particular measure A set of Reasonable Measures are highlighted as they provide a good balance of benefits and cost EESSH will mean that no social property will be lower than a C or D energy efficiency rating Resulting in warmer homes, lower fuel consumption, lower fuel bills and less tenants in fuel poverty Projected benefit of around 127million p/a to social tenants

10 EESSH - AN INTRODUCTION Social housing is already significantly more energy efficient than private rented or owner occupied homes On basis of SHQS compliance 64% of homes already meet EESSH as at 1 st April 2015 This leaves 218,000 homes The Scottish Government have estimated the cost of achieving EESSH to be 900million

13 SOLAR AS THE SOLUTION

14 SOLAR AS THE SOLUTION Produces cheaper, greener electricity Cost effective Subsidised - FIT & RHI Innovative financing models Socially inclusive - fairer approach to tenant energy supply Non invasive - simple and quick to install with minimum disruption to tenants Low maintenance Future proofs energy costs

15 I M PACT OF SOLAR ON EPC RATING Improvement Roof area needed Increase in energy rating Solar thermal (gas heating) 4m² +3 Solar thermal (elec. heating) 4m² +6 Solar PV 1kWp 7m² +5 Solar PV 2kWp 14m² +10 Solar PV 3kWp 21m² +15 Solar PV - 4kWp 28m² +20

16 CHANGE TO SUBSIDIES DECC proposing to cut FIT from January 2016 Domestic tariffs reduce to zero by 2019 Uplifting the EPC D requirement for the higher rate to an EPC C (obtained before the installation of the solar PV) Pre-Accreditation removed

17 DECC FIT CHANGE PROPOSALS New Tariff bands Current rate (Oct-Dec 2015) p/kwh New proposed rate from Jan 2016 p/kwh 0-10kW kW kW kW-1MW MW-5MW Standalone

18 LOOKING AHEAD Rapid cost reduction Removal of MIP Increasing panel efficiency Energy storage SiS works subsidy free

19 I NTEGRATED SOLAR - PRODUCTS Better aesthetics Building integrity and weather-tightness Fixing security Reduce costs

20 I NTEGRATED SOLAR - SERVICE Combine with roofing works at new build or as part of a roof renewal programme Reduces management of trades Avoids duplication of infrastructure Reduce costs

21 2014 COMMONWEALTH GAMES Integrated roofing and solar PV 703 homes (300 private, 400 social) 1, 1.25, 1.5 and 2.25kWp systems Flat roof and In-roof PV systems Micro inverters

22 SOCIALLY I NCLUSIVE SOLAR Share the benefits Reduce energy costs to more tenants Outsourced metering and billing Fully funded Maintenance free for system lifespan Helps meet EESSH Future proofing tenant energy costs
