Project Management
• Collaboration between Marches Energy Agency and Shropshire County
Council
• Started April 2006
• To be completed March 2009
• Energy efficiency and renewable energy measures for businesses
• Business diversification
• £120,000 revenue for promotion, energy audits and feasibility studies
• £315,000 for grant funding of carbon saving measures
10 November 2008
Target Pilot Communities
• Pilot project in four contrasting Shropshire communities within the Rural
Regeneration Zone.
• Ellesmere
Cleobury Mortimer
Oswestry Floodplains
Bishops Castle
• Integrated with wider project incorporating domestic and community
buildings
10 November 2008
Objectives
• Retained economic benefit and hence improved competitiveness
• Business diversification
• Increased employment within the sustainable energy supply chain
• Impact across all sectors and technologies
• Carbon emission reductions
10 November 2008
Outcomes
• Currently 18 schemes installed
• 9 schemes approved but not yet installed
• 6 schemes awaiting approval
• At present implementation of all schemes would represent an
overspend of £56k, but some approved schemes are expected to not be
implemented due to change of plan of recipient.
• Schemes encompass 15 different technologies
• 6 business diversification schemes – assistance and training given to
businesses to increase their capability to service the sustainable energy
market and hence increase employment.

Status of applications(33 total, excluding diversifications)

• 13 sectors represented
• Business types represented are predetermined by the nature of

Business organisations such as chamber of trade
Collaboration with district and borough councils

Grant allocation by sector of recipient(£330k total excluding diversifications)
10 November 2008
Grant allocations and CO2 savings by technology
• 15 different technologies represented to gain understanding of the
effectiveness of different technologies.
• Wide variety of cost of CO2 according to technology
• Cheapest CO2 – energy efficient lighting, energy efficient appliances
• Most expensive CO2 – solar PV, solar hot water
• These do not necessarily represent long term costs as this depends on
how mature the supply industry is
10 November 2008
Grant allocation by technology (total £330k, excluding business diversifications)
10 November 2008
CO2 annual saving by technology (total 367 tonnes, excluding business diversifications)
10 November 2008
Number of applications
• Total of 33 applications (including installed, granted and awaiting
installation and awaiting approval)
• Most popular projects are wind power (6), energy efficiency measures
(5) and solar hot water (5)
• Many technologies only represented by one installation.
• Solutions identified that are bespoke for a particular situation.

Final stages
• Schedule in place to revisit many of the early installations to compare
actual savings against predicted savings.
• Focus on the approved projects that have not been implemented to
encourage the clients to proceed, up to the limit of the capital funding.
• If overspend is predicted, identify alternative funding sources.
