… decarbonisation plans. The carbon savings achieved from corporate property during 2023-24 are as a result of a continued focus on property rationalisation and improved monitoring and control of energy use. Further steady emission reductions in future years are expected from ongoing property rationalisation and improved energy management. However, achieving savings at the magnitude needed to achieve…

… in this work. This includes the publication of a Spatial Energy Study in 2022, which sets out opportunities for renewable and 10 CONTROLLED low carbon energy generation and use across Derbyshire and being a project partner in the development of a Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP) for the EMCCA region. This is a major piece of work and once developed, the data driven and evidence based LAEP…

… net zero by 2032, or sooner, will not be possible without investment in renewable energy generation and decarbonisation of heat through building fabric improvements and the replacement of gas boilers with heat pumps. The Council’s current budget constraints mean that the ability to invest in such projects is uncertain and demonstrates a heavy reliance on the availability, suitability…

… for the decarbonisation of heat in corporate buildings is through the PSDS, which is highly competitive, is only applicable where existing boilers are at end of life, and requires having robust feasibility studies and match funding in place. The Council is now able to measure the energy use for electric vehicle charging at corporate buildings. This is currently around 0.4% of total electricity use…
