Given the importance we place on local energy, we are in full support of Community Energy Fortnight – which this year is exploring how to #Harnessourpower, in order to grow our resilience during this crisis and build back better.
The work will take four months from July to early November to complete in the Fleet Valley, near the B796 Gatehouse of Fleet to Creetown Road. The 33,000 volt overhead line will be replaced by 8.5 kilometres of underground cable.
Our Network Planning and Regulation Director, Scott Mathieson, presented on the changes already taking place across the energy landscape, how central we see community energy to that, and the work we’re leading on to facilitate those local energy schemes and to bring our communities along on the journey to net zero.
The pandemic has delayed Ofgem’s open hearings that would have been a key opportunity for our stakeholders to challenge and hear more about our plans
How our SP Energy Networks business have managed a complex programme of projects and investments
The strategy acknowledges that we are operating in changed times. The impact of COVID-19, Net Zero carbon targets, exiting the European Union, increased competition for skills with other high-profile sectors and the divergent skills policy across the four nations – makes the skills challenge very real and urgent.
Working with WUTH Charity, the official charity of Wirral University Teaching Hospital, SP Energy Networks teamed up with several service partners to volunteer their time to give the area a much-needed make over.
Thanks to funding of £43,727 from SP Energy Networks’ Green Economy Fund, around 2,300 nursery and primary school pupils in the Forth Valley area are being given access to innovative online workshops run by the college.
The smart solution will introduce significant benefits for customers in the area including reducing energy costs as it means the excess green energy produced in the area can be redistributed elsewhere, reducing the need – and cost – of using other methods of generation.
Our plan was a long time in the making, and throughout the two-year process of engaging with consumers and stakeholders from across Britain, we were all too aware of the uncertainties we’d need to account for - with the changes needed to enable net zero always being at the forefront of our minds.
