Award outcome

Description

In work package 1, the consultant will determine the scale of the commercial solar opportunity in Greater Manchester by performing further analysis on an Energy System's Catapult dataset. The consultant will use this data to present the greatest opportunities in terms of building types and geographical locations. This information will also be presented geographically using GIS. This will suggest a potential pipeline of opportunities which could be targeted as part of future activity. In work package 2, the consultant will conduct engagement with commercial landlords and tenants in Greater Manchester. This engagement will be targeted at those that represent the biggest opportunities for solar PV installation, as determined by work package 1. This engagement will aim to determine which barriers are applicable to these opportunities and which solutions could potentially be effective. Barriers will be classified and ranked in terms of significance and solutions will be proposed that can inform and justify future work. The consultant will propose recommendations for how the public sector could address the identified barriers and incentivise businesses to install solar PV.
