Rotherham Local Area Energy Plan

Description

The development of an internal business case for a local area energy plan covering the geographic area of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough. A Rotherham LAEP will be expected to deliver the following outputs: • A pathway to 'Net Zero by 2040' in line with local and regional decarbonisation goals, accounting for committed government policy and spending as appropriate. • A high-level summary for policy makers which conveys the scale and range of activity needed to achieve local decarbonisation goals, as well as key differences between areas within Rotherham Metropolitan Borough. • Evaluation and prioritisation of projects, policies and partnership actions needed to deliver local decarbonisation goals. • Identification of opportunities for commercial or community-owned renewable energy generation in Rotherham Metropolitan Borough, to include assessment of opportunities to attract external funding and investment. • Estimation of the investment required to deliver local decarbonisation goals, in total and in each year up to 2040, segmented by sector and geographic area. • Estimation of additional economic, social and environmental value to be realised by delivery of the LAEP, compared with a reasonable baseline. • Setting out next steps required of the Council and other key actors to mobilise the LAEP, with clearly identified milestones and lead roles. • A data model or platform such as a 'digital twin', which allows the LAEP to be continuously updated
