Net Zero Living: Pathfinder Places Phase 2 – Pathfinders

我们将完善法律结构和金融模式，以克服智能地方能源系统被视为高风险投资的障碍。我们将通过创建拥有多种收入流和资产的社区能源服务公司（CESCO）来降低风险。一个规模稍大的项目也会引起投资者的兴趣。我们将以Bethesda和Blaenau festiniog这两个地点为例，以创新的CESCO模式为基础，通过当地能源市场管理当地发电，为电动汽车充电提供电力，并以低于标准供应的价格为家庭和企业提供热量和电力。热力网络将由公共热泵提供，我们将努力改进设计，以满足当地的需求，特别是那些最弱势群体的需求。我们将在Bethesda和Blaenau开展工作，鼓励人们参与热网和社区交通，并根据他们的需求量身定制设计。除此之外，我们将继续开发提供区域范围内的改造方案以降低成本。这将确保该项目尽可能包括所有人口统计数据。这项工作将加强我们获得投资和拨款的理由，以证明金融模式，然后复制它。

We will refine the legal structure and financial model to overcome the barriers of smart local energy systems being perceived as high risk for investment. We will reduce this perception of risk by creating Community Energy Services Company (CESCO) with multiple income streams and assets to reduce the risk. A slightly larger project will also be of interest to investors. We will use two locations -- Bethesda and Blaenau Ffestiniog - as examples to base the format of an innovative CESCO to manage the local generation via a local energy market to provide power to EV charging, and heat and power to households and businesses at a reduced rate compared to a standard supply. The heat network will be fed by communal heat pumps and we will work to refine the design to meet local needs especially those of the most vulnerable. We will work on engagement in Bethesda and Blaenau to encourage participation in a heat network and community transport, will and tailor the design to their needs. Alongside this we will continue to develop means to provide area wide retrofit schemes to reduce costs. This will ensure that the project is inclusive to all demograhics as possible.This work will strengthen our case to get investment and grant funding to demonstrate the financial model and then replicate it.
