| Objectives | Through research, stakeholder engagement and desktop study, the project aims to develop: An approach to forecasting adoption of energy efficiency measures and low carbon heating solutions. The project will test this approach in the UK Power Networks licence areas and produce geospatial forecasts; Learning on the relationship between energy efficiency roll-out and heating demand; Scenarios for different levels of DNO involvement in energy efficiency deployment; Customer segmentation for heating; The project will also carry out a zoning assessment to gain insight on what areas may be particularly well-suited to electrifying their heating needs. Criteria such as regulatory considerations, geospatial, fairness, practicality and speed will be included in the assessment. The research will apply to all three of UK Power Networks licence areas, and will cover domestic, industrial and commercial buildings. It will include conducting stakeholder workshops and bilaterals to inform performance criteria and forecast assumptions. The scope of forecasting will be from now until 2030. If value can be demonstrated, these forecasts may be extended further. The objectives of the project are to: -Collate existing information in a way which is useful for energy networks to progress their thinking on the decarbonisation of heat;-Develop understanding of trends and dependencies for energy efficiency and low carbon heating implementation; and-Develop and conduct a zoning assessment with input from stakeholders to understand how to identify where customers will benefit most from installing electric heating solutions. | |
