Introducing… Clean Growth South East
What is CGSE?
Clean Growth South East is a pilot programme supporting the
region’s businesses to identify new clean growth and net zero
opportunities.
Led by Kent County Council, working in partnership with Essex
and East Sussex Councils. Funded by the South East LEP
Sector Support Fund, and delivered by Opergy.
Two main areas of work:
1. An updated analysis and business intelligence on the clean
growth, low carbon and renewable energy sectors in the
South East.
2. Develop and deliver a pilot support programme, directly
helping business to address and overcome challenges
restricting innovation and growth in high opportunity areas
of the clean growth sectors.

What is Clean Growth?
Clean Growth Sub Sectors:
The UK Government describes ‘clean growth’ as
growing our national income while cutting greenhouse • Low Carbon Electricity & Renewable
gas emissions. Heat
• Energy from Waste and Biomass
Achieving clean growth, while ensuring an affordable • Low Carbon & Energy Efficiency
energy supply for businesses and consumers, is at the Products, Equipment & Machinery
heart of the UK’s Industrial Strategy.
• Low Carbon Construction
It will increase our productivity, create good jobs, • Low Carbon Services
boost earning power for people right across the • Low-Emissions Vehicles and
country, and help protect the climate and environment Infrastructure
upon which we and future generations depend.
• Water, Waste and Recycling
• Forestry & Woodland Management
• Non-Renewable Energy related
The Big Numbers… (approx. 8% of total businesses)
Objectives • Support business across the South East to identify new Clean Growth London Array Offshore related opportunities. Wind Farm • Listening to the views of business on priorities, challenges, and support required to realise clean growth and deliver net zero. • Deliver updated research and evidence on current business demographics, changing policy landscape, and known investment plans. • Engage a wide variety of stakeholders across public, private, voluntary and education sectors to identify potential barriers, gaps, and priorities. • Develop an early-stage business network to share relevant news, best Gridserve Electric practice, events, funding opportunities, and information on upcoming Forecourt, Braintree clean growth projects and how to access them. • High-level Diagnostic and Brokerage to existing support providers, programmes or funding where applicable. • Identify gaps in the support provision and pilot appropriate interventions to meet those needs.

The challenge of retrofit The challenge is clear: • 80% of consumers are concerned about climate change…BUT • Mismatch between what they THINK they need to do and the ACTUAL changes needed • Majority believe they are already doing everything they can to save energy at home Key messages: • Home heating and insulation • Smart meter adoption and flexible energy use • Transportation – focus on Electric Vehicles
The challenge of retrofit
The challenge of retrofit Retrofit has never been more important Much has already been achieved, but there is a long way to go. There is a need to engage consumers now on: • why change is needed • the options available • how they will be supported Our speakers today will cover: • Renewables (microgeneration) • Development/finance of local energy projects • Whole house retrofit • Support for the construction sector

Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS)
• MCS Service Company is a standards organisation and
quality assurance partner for the sector.
• MCS certifies low-carbon products and installations used to
produce electricity and heat from renewable sources.
• Membership of MCS demonstrates adherence to these
recognised industry standards; highlighting quality,
competency and compliance.

Renewing Britain
• The MCS installations database is a goldmine of data
• Renewing Britain outlines the journey of small scale
renewables since 2007 www.renewingbritain.com
• The landmark report provides the very first in depth
analysis of 1.2 million installation records.

Market Trends
Mapping MCS data against a range of official statistics allows us to
identify where there are common characteristics of areas where
small scale renewables are particularly prevalent or absent. Our
analysis found:
• The demand for microgeneration tends to be much higher in rural areas and
very high in some remote locations
• Renewable heat is strongly correlated to areas where a relatively large
proportion of consumers have no access to mains gas
• Installation rates are higher in some areas where there is a lot of fuel
poverty
• Some evidence that areas with the highest gross disposable household
income generally have the lowest rate of installations

Soren.Nellegaard@RetrofitWorks.co.ukThe Challenge
• ‘Net Zero’ performance of every building in the UK by 2050:
27m homes 35% UK energy 20% UK CO2
1.8m non-domestic 17% UK energy 12% UK CO2
• The only strategic Government policy is an interim target of min EPC ‘C’ for
homes by 2030.
• 70% of UK homes remain at EPC ‘D’ or worse little/no improvement made in
recent years.
• Vast majority of the 2030 target (77%) can be met through the natural trigger
points of moving home, major refurbishments and boiler replacements.

Iterate based on feedbackPieces of the puzzle?
Some learnings Potential role of Local Authorities
• Whole House Plans can empower homeowners to take • Help create a sustained demand by engaging homeowners
better decisions when retrofitting their home through own communication channels and collaboration
• Homeowners are willing to pay for some advice and with community groups
services but not the full suite of PAS2035
• Domestic retrofit is rarely a fuel bill business case – • Organise contractor networks
especially not with inflation in building industry
• Understand what you ask for. What do you actually ask for
• Shortage of contractors and material supplies are leading when asking for PAS2035 and what are you not asking for?
to soaring inflation • Sustainable building materials?
• Readiness for PAS2035/2030:2019 is very low – and • Cascades of paperwork?
deadline approaches… • PAS2035 adds cost so “normal” fees are not sufficient
• Few contractors know about managing moisture risk
• Take on retrofit coordination liability on own projects. It will
• Insurance for various PAS2035 roles is uncertain be difficult to find someone else to do it
• Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme contributed to • Invest in long term programs as stop/go funding does not
significant inflation as supply side cannot grow with short create any basis for growing a reliable supply chain

England
67Challenges ?
,
• 70-85% of homes existing in 2050 are already built
• Who pays ?
• No gas grid connections for homes built from 2025
• Anyone seen a Hydrogen Strategy ?
• Local heat network or heat pumps ?
• 70% of UK adults have never heard of a heat pump
• 30000 heatpumps were installed in UK in 2019
• c/w 1.7 million gas boilers
• Just two manufacturers currently in the UK ,
Mitsubishi in Scotland and Kensa in Cornwall.
• Shortage of both sticks and carrots to get to 20 fold
increase to 600k by 2028 (White Paper target ?)
• For older homes a heat pump needs to go with
improved insulation – can’t produce as much heat as
a gas boiler.
• No accredited qualification for a heatpump installer 68
