@guynewey covering the change needed in the Energy system, what we can do to kick on, and how the West Mids is well placed.

@EnergyCapitalUK @EnergySysCat @WestMids_CA

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

Full house at the Energy Captial Partnership Conference 2024. Updates from @CherylHiles, @EnergyCapitalUK and @WestMids_CA, on regional energy strategy and some ambitious projects and goals for the West Midlands. @guynewey up soon.

A good article by my colleagues @AnAndrewClark and Chris St John Cox on the challenge of #local #energytransition #climateinvestment @EnergySysCat https://t.co/G7J49HbuCB

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

I always think economic growth and investment should be at the heart of #netzero. Places with credible plans are using them to leverage £ in. Important in challenging times to be able to show the size of the prize...

[Energy Systems Catapult @EnergySysCat]

#NetZero represents a significant economic opportunity for local places, people, businesses, & communities.

Andrew Clark & Christine St John Cox explore how planning can unlock place-based opportunities in their recent @UtilityWeek article [paywall]: https://t.co/MQAvMNth1M

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

Organising place-based action is critical to achieving scale for #NetZero. LAEP is about giving places a robust plan that gives shape to what needs to be done, and sets out the cost. These plans are starting to drive delivery but some places could be left behind...the time is now

[Energy Systems Catapult @EnergySysCat]

Despite offering community value, Local Area Energy Planning is not backed by Westminster. @UtilityWeek believes this should change & is launching the ‘Make it a LAEP Year’ campaign, urging government to endorse & fund these plans to help meet #NetZero. https://t.co/K0KBNbD6CV

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

@MariaAntoniouN @ORECatapult Huge news! Great to hear.

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

Almost a third of UK Local Authorities are looking to a Local Area Energy Plan to develop a robust whole energy systems plan for Net Zero. Check out our UK map showing where 👇. A LAEP quantifies the investment needed, where, when and in what.

One of the best pieces we've done on Local Area Energy Planning. Highly valuable info for anybody considering. We love a bit crack about this stuff so give us a shout if we can help or ur interested in innovating in this space.

Good summary of local area energy planning by @AnAndrewClark @EnergySysCat @unlocknetzero

The path to #NetZero in 2050 has narrowed, but we can do it. New work from colleagues here @EnergySysCat explores how, what are the low regret technologies and innovation priorities to deliver within 1% of GDP.

Good fun today at Innovate UK Net Zero Living event. Catching up with project partners in person and hearing from inspiring projects all over the country. Can't wait to get cracking!

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

Train north to Scotland today, instead of South, for a packed 2 days of meetings. Learning hat on!

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

@DEI_durham @NTUadbe @CREDS_UK @DurhamCouncil Interesting discussion and insights thanks all. 👍

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

Super varied discussions today around decarbonisation of heat, coming at governance barriers and solutions from all angles! Looking forward to the write up @CREDS_UK @UKRI_News @DurhamCouncil @TrentUni

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

Significant news for role of local in new approach to regional integrated #energy planning & infrastructure investment. Excellent that critical local ambition & insights baked in. Essential to make best-cost #NetZero pathways deliverable at pace and scale, with maximum benefit.

🌐Today we have announced the creation of regional energy planning roles across the country to improve local energy planning and speed up the transition to net zero.

Find out how these roles will support infrastructure and energy networks here ⬇️

Reflections from a superb Monday at the Green Summit in Greater Manchester.

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

Fun day in #Manchester, great to hear the Mayor repeatedly talk in detail abt how important GMs LAEPs have been in identifying the £ needed for #NetZero and moving to business case.

Spot the #gruffalo in the background!

[Energy Systems Catapult @EnergySysCat]

Today we’re at the Lowry Theatre in Salford Quays for the #GreaterManchesterGreenSummit hosted by Mayor, Andy Burnham.

Hear what Andrew Clark had to say in the video below and learn more about our Greater Manchester initiatives here: https://t.co/qhhBP2HrfK

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

What a truly sad day for the #NorthEast. Wounded by this. I hope something amazing is done with the site, the gap left by the sycamore, and the timber, to create a monument in its place. 🌳 #sycamoregaptree #sycamoregap

[Andrew Clark @AnAndrewClark]

Looking forward to a visit to #Manchester next week at the Green Summit. Always leave with new ideas! Come and say hi or check out this great page covering some of the things we've supported in Manchester 👇
