The Mayor’s Smart Energy Programme
The challenge • “Make London a zero carbon city by 2050 , with energy effjcient buildings, clean transport and clean energy” • “6.2 Develop clean and smart, integrated energy systems utjlising local and renewable energy resources”
Where we are now 1) London’s total energy has reduced by over 20 per cent since 2000 2) Emissions have decreased by 32 per cent since 1990 3) Carbon intensity of UK electricity has reduced by over 60 per cent since 1990 4) Heat (natural gas) and transport (diesel/petrol) remain key challenges
What we need to do 1) Increase the number of buildings retrofjtued with energy effj ciency measures 2) Ofgset increases in London’s energy demand through energy effj ciency deployment and increasing use of smart technology 3) Decarbonising transport and increasing use of actj ve and public transport 4) Determine the UK’s low carbon heat pathway
What do we mean by smart energy systems and fmexibility? Creatjng an integrated & fmexible energy system by coordinatjng supply & demand across heat, transport & power What? Who? Why? How? Enables more Storage – Generators Policy intermituent renewables grid scale & distributed + Reduces required Market design network and Transmission and generatjon capacity distributjon system Demand side + Physical infrastructure operators response and technology Improves the effjciency of the system operatjon = Digital & End users (Buildings, Interconnectors communicatjons Transport, Industry) Quicker decarbonisatjon at technology + lower cost Betuer experience for consumers
What does the delivery of a smart energy system look like and what is energy system fmexibility? What? Who? • In this context, a smart energy system means: Storage – Generators • Integratjon of energy supply and demand grid scale & distributed across buildings, transport, industry (etc.) with the ability to: • exchange data and communicate with all components of the system Transmission and • optjmise system and asset operatjon distributjon system Demand side based on energy system and consumer operators response needs in a coordinated way • Incorporate fmexibility into the system to achieve optjmal outcomes End users (Buildings, • Interconnectors In this context, fmexibility means: Transport, Industry) • The capability to modify electricity supply or demand in response to variatjons in prices or external control signals to provide a service to the energy system.
Why is a smart energy systems approach important for London? Quicker decarbonizatjon at lower cost and a betuer experience for Londoners Who? Why? How? What?

Benefjts of a Smart Energy System approach Natjonal Infrastructure Commission, Smart Power (2016) • “ The UK is uniquely placed to lead the world in a Smart Power Revolutjon. If we get this right we could save consumers up to £8bn a year.” HM Government and Ofgem, Commituee on Climate Change, Carbon Trust and Imperial College Smart Systems and Flexibility Plan Net Zero Report, 2019 • “ Smart energy is central to many • “ The UK could save £17-40 bn • “ A low-carbon power other changes in our energy system ” across the electricity system system will require a high • “ For consumers, smart energy from now to 2050 by deploying degree of system fmexibility technologies ” technologies and processes can fmexibility.” • These benefjts come from deliver new services that give people • “ Flexibility could bring more control over how they use avoided or deferred network electricity system costs energy, and help lower bills .” reinforcements, avoided down by £3-8 bn/year by • “ For the energy system, greater generatjon build, avoided 2030 and £16 bn/yr by curtailment of low carbon fmexibility will help deliver reliable 2050” generatjon, and betuer power at lower cost .” operatjon of the system.

The current SES programmes & projects are already delivering progress in each of the key areas required to support smart energy system fmexibility Markets Policy LES / Flex London London Plan Home License Lite Lobbying Response C E-fmex Sharing Citjes Demonstrator DEEP Physical infrastructure Digital and communicatjons
Home Response Demonstrate how electrical hot water heatjng and solar PV with batuery storage can be used in social housing to help Londoner’s cut their energy bills, fjnancially reward fmexible use of energy, reduce emissions and contribute to a smarter, cleaner energy system for London. Outcomes • Engage households on the benefjts of smart energy solutjons & provide fjnancial rewards for partjcipatjon • Remotely control residents fmexible energy demand • Reduce consumers energy costs through ability to exploit ToU tarifgs • Kick start household fmexibility markets, with the aim to provide up to 1MW of fmexibility services by December 2022 • Increase low carbon electricity capacity and improve security of supply to meet Londoners’ variable demands for power
Sharing Citjes An advanced energy management service that integrates energy vectors, optjmises system performance, increases and improves energy effjciency adoptjon and allows for the actjve partjcipatjon of citjzens in the energy system. Outcomes • 20% reductjon in end user energy costs • Ability to directly infmuence energy generatjon through optjmised strategies for cost, CO 2 emissions or air quality • City Simulatjons to assist in network planning and infrastructure investment • Leverage IoT and Machine Learning to deploy real-tjme actuatjon • Facilitate greater uptake of Decentralised Energy Resources • Remove localised power constraints and reduce peak demand
FlexLondon Matchmaking and support service for (i) owners and managers of unused flexible energy demand, production and storage who are keen to explore the benefits flexibility can bring, and (ii) Innovative providers of technical and commercial flexibility solutions. Outcomes • Identjfy and unlock new fmexibility opportunitjes across London by deploying new technologies and business models • Support project sprints to accelerate delivery of energy fmexibility in London • Undertake spatjal mapping to identjfy the shared value of fmexibility opportunitjes across nearby locatjons and organisatjon • Infmuence a network of local and natjonal stakeholders shaping the natjonal fmexibility agenda
E-Flex A vehicle-to-grid charging project that re-thinks EV batueries as a two-way energy source to make smart use of unused electricity stored in the batuery when the vehicle is statjonary Outcomes • Demonstrate real world V2G operatjon for commercial/borough vehicles in high density metropolitan area • Develop markets and opportunitjes where V2G is most ‘valuable’ for fmeets • Connectjng 200 eligible electric vehicles (such as the Nissan LEAF, Nissan e-NV200 and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV) with V2G chargers in Greater London • Manage V2G chargers to deliver real value back to customers
