ENERGY (see other tables, eg. transport, buildings etc for inter-connected issues) 1. Happening now… ● 2 large solar farms on the outskirts ● LED lights on seafront ● Cycle path solar lights ● Smart meters being fitted / updated (2nd gen) ● Microgeneration (eg. personal / private PV, small wind turbines) ● Most side street lighting turned off at night ● Plans for electric car charging points (see transport table for more?) ● Energy from waste (Exeter Energy Recovery Facility and anaerobic kitchen waste near Greendale?) ● Schools Conference ● Was a community energy group within Transition Exmouth ● Community Energy project in Exeter ● Low energy retro-fit house on St Andrews Road (update / stats from EDDC would be good) ● ETC, EDDC & DCC Climate Emergency Working Groups 2. Vision for 2030... (from discussion and post-its ) ● Community Hub for all things eco - including energy / power information ● Locally produced renewable energy and storage (wind, solar and tidal on River Exe) x 5 ● Community energy group with several renewable projects (eg. dockside tidal power / marine turbine generating power with excess energy stored in batteries for charging electric vehicles) x 3 ● Overall much lower energy use per person (not just end use, whole life-cycle analysis) x3 ● New financial incentives for all renewable energy (micro and commercial) ● Planning restrictions on low efficiency / high energy use buildings ● All new buildings to be net zero by 2030 (construction and usage / CO2 and other greenhouse gases) ● All lighting to be LED / low energy ● Cheap effective electric room heating (to replace gas boilers, etc) ● Full community engagement (on all the above!) ● Locally produced biodiesel from waste oil from chip shops, take-aways, etc but no growing crops for biofuel
