ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Activities undertaken during the period December 2002 to March 2003 include the
following: Progress of the energy audit plan
The levels of energy savings achieved.
Recently published White Paper on Energy
6.
PURCHASE OF PUBLIC LIGHTING ELECTRICITY
We are pleased to report that savings of £38,856 (9%) have been achieved for a two-year
period, through the competitive tendering of the public lighting electricity contract. This
contract also includes provision for 10% of the electricity to be supplied via “Green”
energy resources.
7.
ELECTRICITY PURCHASING TO COUNCIL PREMISES
The competitive tendering for 15 of the council’s large sites has now been completed.
Savings of approximately £8,353 will be achieved across these sites, for a one-year period.
We are also pleased to advise that three of these sites, Civic Centre, Turnpike House and
Clarendon Recreation Centre will be supplied on a “Green” energy contract.
We are also pleased to report that another 30 sites have been included on our small site
contract with Scottish Power. Savings across the sites will amount to £11,393.88.
8.
ENERGY SAVINGS ACHIEVED
Implemented Energy Savings, through purchasing, tariff analysis and water audits amount
to £151,287.41 for the year to date. Refunds for the amount of £183,168.65 have also been
achieved and cheques from the various suppliers received.
A number of energy audits at the following premises have also been conducted. The
summaries are attached in Appendix A.

ENERGY WHITE PAPER
The energy white paper and what Government expects in future from local authorities, a
brief synopsis:
On the 24th February 2003 the DTI published the energy white paper “Our energy future creating a low carbon economy”. This addressed three challenges of energy policy:
environmental protection, to reduce climate change and emissions of greenhouse gases,
the decline of the UK's indigenous energy supplies and the future dependence on imported
energy also the need to update and adapt much of the UK's energy infrastructure to
accommodate more renewables and small-scale de-centralised power generation.
To address these challenges the new energy policy has four goals:
To put the UK on a path to cut carbon dioxide emissions by some 60% by about 2050, with
real progress by 2020; to maintain the reliability of energy supplies; to promote competitive
markets in the UK and beyond, helping to raise the rate of sustainable economic growth
and improve the UK's productivity; to ensure that every home is adequately and affordably
heated.
Government expect the delivery of the energy policy to be achieved through partnership
with stakeholders, including local authorities, regional chambers and regional development
agencies who make decisions that are vital for energy policy (for example on planning,
regeneration and development, procurement, housing, transport and sustainable
development). The future energy system will also require greater involvement from local
communities. From 2002/2003 local authorities will be required to benchmark their energy
use in operational properties and street lighting and will have to set local improvement
targets from 2003/2004.
Local authorities will have a growing role as community leaders: There will be a greater
emphasis on developing and implementing both local and regional strategic approaches to
delivering the Government's energy objectives. Regional targets for renewable and energy
efficiency will be negotiated and an action plan will be set out showing how regional
bodies and local authorities intend to help deliver objectives on energy through their
various roles and functions
The Government will consult shortly on detailed proposals for developing this strategic
approach. Regional assemblies will take responsibility for leading the work where they are
established. RDA's will be strongly encouraged to play a key role in delivery of initiatives
at regional level.
In the longer term the Government want to see local authorities and regional bodies take a
pro-active role. The Sustainable Energy Policy Network will have a remit to develop the
partnership with local and regional bodies on energy issues. In addition the Government
will: establish a new beacon councils theme on sustainable energy to promote innovative
local approaches on generation and demand-side measures; promote energy efficiency and
the roll-out of new technologies as areas in which local authorities can consider Local
Public Service Agreements; urge local authorities to give energy issues priority at a
strategic level through their Community Plans and Housing Strategies, consistent with the
new strategic approach to be developed at regional level; encourage local authorities to
take the lead, acting as catalysts for change, developing and facilitating cross-sectoral
partnerships and providing advice and encouragement; review existing guidance to
Energy Conservation Authorities on complying with the requirements of the Home Energy
Conservation Act; consider with the Local Government Association (LGA) whether at the
next review to include energy as a shared central-local priority; and consult on arrangement
to collect and make available data on the pattern of energy usage in local areas, to enable
local authorities and regional bodies to target activity more effectively. '
