| Objectives | The project will develop a methodology for assessing how different regions are likely to respond to the availability of new heat, light, transport and green gas technologies which impact gas supply and demand requirements.Forecasts will be developed in conjunction with regional stakeholders such as Local Authorities, and take account of retro-fit as well as future development plans for new connections. Their involvement will help the project gain useful information on localised energy planning and is likely to assist stakeholder in developing robust proposals.New drivers such as socio-economic data will also be used to identify areas where residents are most likely to be able to afford to invest in lower carbon solutions. It is proposed that the WWU geography be segregated into a number of regions that take into account both Local Authority boundaries and the way they are fed from the WWU network.The project will consider and complement work being done to produce UK trajectories of technology being developed in the Gas demand forecasting – Phase 2 project (NIA_ WWU_047), to understand the local considerations that will influence uptake. The outputs will also be in a format that they can be combined with regional forecasts developed by DNOs in our region so that a future phase of work can be undertaken to produce regional scenarios that are agreed by power and gas networks. • Location: All parts of the WWU network will be assessed in order that a variety of approaches can be considered.• A range of new customer types / behaviours to be considered including, electric and gas vehicles, green gas for entry, use of electric and hybrid heating and heat networks• Report on implications of findings, presentation and recommendation for future developments The objective is to gain a better understanding of demand at local level leading to better investment decisions and lowest cost to the consumer – less risk of stranding assets and ensuring localised security and reliabilit. | |
