The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version cent of London’s energy demand to be supplied through decentralised systems could save up to 2.57 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. Greater use of DE will also help London become more self-sufficient and secure in relation to its energy needs. 5.33 London has the potential to increase its DE capacity ten-fold 112 . The Mayor is working to stimulate a major increase in investment in the necessary district energy infrastructure required to maximise the opportunities it can deliver. Map 5.1 shows heat demand density across London, which when used in conjunction with other relevant spatial factors (such as social housing density, major development and regeneration areas) can help identify opportunities for DE networks (see paragraph 5.35). 5.34 Some boroughs have already undertaken technical and financial feasibility work to progress district-wide heat and power schemes, and it is expected all boroughs will actively promote DE in their LDFs. This will enable systematic identification of key opportunities across London for different types of DE systems. The scale of opportunity can vary from CHP systems on specific development sites, through town centre wide district energy projects such as Elephant and Castle and the Olympic Park/Village schemes, to connecting into large scale infrastructure such as the London Thames Gateway Heat Network. This could ultimately extend to 23 kilometres and supply the heat requirements of 120,000 homes and properties, saving approximately 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. [Map 5.1 Heat density in London (relative heat demand based on fuel use kWh/m2/year)] 5.35 The Mayor has developed an online London Heat Map tool 113 , which will help boroughs and developers identify and develop key DE opportunities. Boroughs and others (including developers) are encouraged to update information to this tool and utilise the heat map to develop more detailed local energy masterplans. The tool continues to be developed and updated as boroughs and others add further information into the map on heat loads, heat supply plants and networks in their areas. The Mayor and London Councils have also developed a comprehensive decentralised energy masterplanning support package, tailored to boroughs’ individual requirements and ranging from organisational capacity building to the identification, development and implementation of specific projects. 5.36 Boroughs should work with significant energy users, potential energy providers and Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) 114 to identify and develop DE network opportunities. Where an opportunity for a DE network is taken forward, the borough should connect its own buildings to the network wherever possible and identify potential sites for energy centres on either council owned land or in buildings. The GLA are developing decentralised energy technical specifications and standards in conjunction with 112 DEFRA. Analysis of the UK potential for Combined Heat and Power.

The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version the boroughs and other relevant stakeholders to ensure compatibility between decentralised energy networks as they are developed in London. Boroughs are encouraged to make use of these specifications and standards when developing network opportunities in their borough. They may also wish to explore the use of local development orders (LDOs) for implementation purposes. Further information on proposals to support the wider uptake of DE systems in London can be found in the Mayor’s Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy. POLICY 5.6 DECENTRALISED ENERGY IN DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS Planning decisions A Development proposals should evaluate the feasibility of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems, and where a new CHP system is appropriate also examine opportunities to extend the system beyond the site boundary to adjacent sites. B Major development proposals should select energy systems in accordance with the following hierarchy: 1 Connection to existing heating or cooling networks; 2 Site wide CHP network; 3 Communal heating and cooling; C Potential opportunities to meet the first priority in this hierarchy are outlined in the London Heat Map tool. Where future network opportunities are identified, proposals should be designed to connect to these networks. 5.37 Development proposals should seek to connect to existing or planned DE networks. Linking a new development to an existing CHP system may be the most resource efficient option, allowing more effective use to be made of heat, power and cooling. If it is not possible to link to an existing system, the feasibility of CHP needs to be considered on a site-wide basis connecting different uses and/or group of buildings or an individual building. Investment in heat and cooling distribution infrastructure should be considered in all developments. CHP systems must be designed to run efficiently and be optimally sized to maximise carbon dioxide savings. 5.38 Opportunities to incorporate energy from waste or, where technically feasible, renewable energy should be investigated. However, the design of such systems should also seek to minimise impacts on air quality (see Policy 7.14). Where a district CHP system provides part of a development’s power and/or heating and/or cooling demand, suitable renewable energy technologies should be considered in addition, in accordance with Policy 5.7 and the Mayor’s energy hierarchy. In this area of policy, as all others, feasibility includes questions of financial and technical viability. There are recognised ways of identifying and assessing these. These will ensure that requirements are not imposed on the development that could lead to uneconomic costs on occupiers. Page 141 of 310
