Inclusive local energy markets

这个创新的项目将利用当地的自然能源资源，并开发一种新的社区供暖方法，在提供低碳取暖的同时大幅降低成本。它将重点包括最脆弱和面临社会孤立风险的人，那些以英语为第二语言的人，面临农村孤立危险的老年人和燃料贫乏的人。它将在迄今工作的基础上，在北威尔士农村地区和伦敦贫困地区吸引和支持燃料严重贫困地区的家庭。社区将牵头制定热力网络业务计划，通过活动和一对一会议进行外联，旨在将社区中最难接触到的人包括在内。这将确保规划和发展具有包容性，并为我们当前在线能源仪表盘和APP的技术创新和改进提供具有代表性的反馈。由当地可再生能源供应的创新社区供热网络将为该地区的培训、教育和就业提供机会，并通过在当地使用可再生能源来减少碳排放并促使消费行为发生变化，从而带来环境效益。这将通过创新地使用电池来实现，以避免网络限制。我们将努力为热能找到不同的支付结构，使那些面临燃料贫困风险的人尽可能容易参与。

This innovative project will use the local natural energy resources and develop a new community heating approach to drastically reduce bills whilst providing low carbon warmth. It will focus on including the most vulnerable and at risk of social isolation, those with English as a second language, the elderly in danger of rural isolation and the fuel poor. It will build on work to date to engage and support households in areas of severe fuel poverty in rural North Wales and deprived areas of London. The community will lead on the development of a heat network business plan, with outreach via events and one to one meetings designed to include those in the community who are hardest to reach. This will ensure that the planning and developments are inclusive as well as providing representative feedback for technological innovation and improvements to our current online energy dashboard and app. The innovative community heat network fed by local renewables will provide opportunities for training, education and employment in the area as well as the environment benefits of reducing carbon emissions through using renewable energy locally and provoking consumption behaviour change. This will be enabled by innovative use of batteries to avoid network constraints. We will work to find different payment structures for heat to make it as easy as possible for those in risk of fuel poverty to participate.
