Scottish Energy Strategy A New 2030 ‘All Energy’ Renewables Target To delivery the equivalent of 50% of Scotland’s heat, transport and electricity consumption from renewable sources

Scottish Energy Strategy Electricity Generation by Fuel Type Renewables Nuclear Coal Gas • In 2015, 59.4% of Scotland’s electricity consumption was met by renewables

Scottish Energy Strategy Electricity Generated from renewable sources, Scotland, 2000-2015 Other Bioenergy Wind Hydro Other – Solar??

Solar in Scotland UK and Scotland receives as much solar irradiation as Germany which has one of the largest PV market

Scottish Energy Strategy Solar PV is considered one of the main technologies that generate renewables electricity

Role of Solar PV - Industry perspective John Forster Chairman STA Scotland & Chairman Roofing Industrial Energy Forster Group Ltd. Ewan Sneddon Senior Solar PV Design Engineer Forster Group Ltd.

The barriers

STA Scotland Asks knowledge planning transfer permitted development conservation areas EESSH building standards public estate MIP grid constraints business rates energy storage wind & storage VAT co-locating solar

Business rates “In England the Rateable Value is currently set by applying a maximum rate of £8.00 per kWp to an install, therefore a 150kWp install would pay £576 p.a. in business rates. In Scotland the Rateable Value can be anywhere between £200 and £700 per panel, so that same 150kWp install would pay up to £10,080 p.a. in business rates. Both ratings methodologies are under review in the 2017 re- evaluation.”

The opportunities

Role of Solar PV - Public Sector Perspective Chris Thomson Head of Assets Castle Rock Edinvar

Challenges for Public Sector - Housing Addressing Fuel Poverty Creating Low Carbon Solutions Return on Investment Upskilling Workforce Developing Knowledge

Current Solar Use (% of stock) • Solar PV (16.5%) • Solar Thermal (2.2%) • Sunamp Heat Store (6.5%)

Energy and Solar Initiatives • Our Power founding member, • FIT maximisation on commercial and sheltered units, • Lease Option of roof space, • Solar Thermal, • Sunamp, • LECF - other awards

Main Solar Considerations For Our Sector • Procurement • Consents • Financial Driver • Impact - Housing Management, Visual, Customer, Value • Locations • Knowledge of Assets
