THE VOICE FOR THE UK’S DISTRICT ENERGY SCHEMESHello and welcome to another District EnergyJournal. Well the Summer seems to be well andtruly over, as I leave a rather wet UK to head off tothe Danish Board of District Heating annualConference.I have been invited to speak about what we aredoing in the UK and in particular they arefascinated to hear what impact BREXIT will haveon our industry in the UK (I am sure we areequally keen to find out too ! and yes for thosecost conscious amongst us they are paying all my travel costs). I will be able to update youat the AGM this week on how the conference went and what they are up to in Denmark,which we all hear so much about these days.That takes me onto the AGM which I know Chris and I are looking forward to catching upwith many of you at this week. It is a lot of work each year, but we have always beenpleased at how the day turns out so fingers crossed for this year. We have an excitingseries of speakers in the morning conference session to ensure that you leave the eventfully informed on what is happening in the UK District Energy Sector.We are now at well over 100 delegates and full to capacity!Although this last month has been August when theoretically things should be quiet I havebeen working on some of our key forthcoming initiatives, including the proposed DistrictEnergy Design Guide in collaboration with BSRIA (further details at AGM) and also theproposed MSc modules with Brighton University (again further details at the AGM).We have also been working to finalise the arrangements and costings for Ecobuild 2018and Trevor from Futurebuild will be presenting these at the start of the AGM.I also have been catching up with Emma Floyd from BEIS to try and make sure that she isfully briefed ready for the AGM with the intention of engaging with the widest possible rangeof members during her presentation and at the event.That’s it from me and hopefully will see you at the London Living Room on the 14th. ! 2

Type of Event: Meeting This was a very helpful catch up with Julia who I had not met before, to discuss the planned UKDEA/BSRIA Heat Networks Design Guide. As members will recall this document has had a bit of a painful gestation with some issues as to the content and then the very sad demise of Reg Brown late last year. It is clear that Julia was not in touch with the previous progress and therefore we chatted extensively about what had taken place and what we wanted to achieve. It is clear that BSRIA are now in a very different place with producing documents and she has agreed to come back with a proposal as to how we can take this document forward. I will provide a more detailed update at the AGM.

SIC secures funding for Yell energy studySHETLAND Islands Council has been given £133,000 from the Scottish Governmentto develop an energy efficiency strategy in Yell.The money will also be used to explore how the energy supply to properties on the island,which has above average levels of fuel poverty, could become more sustainable.The information gained will be used in developing a Shetland-wide heat and energyefficiency strategy, which will be mandatory for local authorities by 2018/19.The SIC previously received £500,000 from the Scottish Government's Scottish EnergyEfficiency Programme to improve the efficiency of 40 properties on Lerwick's district heatingscheme.But the Yell scheme will also explore how the use of renewable energy sources could beextended further on the island.The analysis of all of Yell's residential and commercial properties will be carried out by thecouncil's carbon management team.North Yell Development Council - which oversees therecently completed North Garth wind farm on the island- is supporting the council in the development alongsidetidal energy company Nova Innovations and wind groupPeel Energy.SIC estate operations manager Carl Symons said thegrant was \"welcome news\" for the whole of Shetland asit should help the council to show the government that aone-size-fits-all approach doesn't usually work for ruralcommunities.\"It allows us to carry out an in-depth study of a localrural area which has a well above average level of fuel poverty and a constrained electricitysupply grid,\" he said.\"The data we collate will help us to persuade government that many of the local energyproblems we face need local solutions.To achieve this we need to directly engage with the people of Yell, with the ultimate aim ofdelivering energy efficiency works - including renewables - that addresses the high price wecurrently pay for heating our homes, businesses and schools across Shetland.\"! 30
