  • We distribute the electricity to your home and business

no matter who you pay your bill to

  • Around 30p of your daily electricity bill allows us to

maintain the network which brings power to your home

Impact for SP Energy Networks

Semi affluent area with an expected 100% uptake of EV - 30,000 vehicles

Network reinforcement to accommodate these charging points

  • 1 new 33/11kV Substation and 60 new HV/LV

Substations

  • 18km of 11kV cable and 53km of LV cable

Impact

  • Approximate cost of £10m-£15m
  • 5 years of disruption to local residents with

excavations and road closures

Estimated investment required for SP Manweb licence area

  • £300million to £600million dependent on the use of smart charging
  • Approximate cost of £25 per year for our domestic customers

Who do you think should pay for the additional electricity infrastructure?

Estimated investment required for SP Manweb licence area

  • £300million to £600million dependent on the use of smart charging
  • Approximate cost of £25 per year for our domestic customers

Who should pay for this extra electricity network? Distribution Network Operators / Government? The customer using the EV Charging Point?

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Who do you think should pay for the additional electricity infrastructure?

If DNO’s pay for this additional infrastructure it will be an additional £25 per year for every domestic customer. Is it fair for customers in fuel poverty who have never driven a car to pay more on their electricity bill for EV Charging Infrastructure? No Yes Estimated investment required for SP Manweb licence area

  • £300million to £600million dependent on the use of smart charging
  • Approximate cost of £25 per year for our domestic customers

About Robin Hood Energy

  • The UK’s first Local Authority-owned fully licensed gas and electricity

supplier.

  • Launched nationally in September 2015.
  • Wholly-owned by Nottingham City Council.
  • Born from a political manifesto commitment to tackle fuel poverty within

the city.

  • Run on a strictly not-for-profit basis and aimed predominantly at the

domestic sector but also offers commercial energy.

  • We operate throughout the mainland UK.
  • Key drivers around reducing fuel poverty, not disadvantaging

those on pre-payment meters, and delivering great customer service.

slide-62
SLIDE 62

Robin Hood – In the black!

  • Most new energy supply companies take at least 5-years to reach break-even. Robin

Hood’s accounts have been independently audited to verify a trading surplus of £202,000 for 2017/18.

  • Turnover of £70.3m in the year to 31 March 2018, up from £25.9m during the prior 12

months.

  • Independently valued at around £30million – well in excess of the Council’s original

investment.

  • 119,000 domestic customers and 200,000 meter points.
  • Using surplus to voluntarily enter arrangements to offer the Warm Home Discount.
  • Protecting tariff rates for prepayment customers.
  • Going Green – Robin Hood Energy now only sell renewable electricity tariffs supplied

from renewable sources certified as being provided by UK based Wind and Solar projects.

Smart roll-out

  • Smart roll-out – 30,000 SMETS 1 meters installed to date, SMETS 2 on trial volumes since June.
  • Priority given to those customers with traditional prepayment meters
  • Benefits

– Encourages energy efficiency – Accurate billing – Cashless top-ups – Monitoring behaviour

  • Drawbacks

– Cost – Access

slide-66
SLIDE 66

Energy Market - Challenges

  • Working with energy code that is legacy and geared around a dominant ‘Big Six’ energy market.
  • According to OFGEM there are 71 active suppliers in the market of which 60 provide both gas and

electricity.

  • Large suppliers have around 78% domestic market share and 60% market is disengaged with

switching.

  • Economies of scale, despite loss of market share, the Big Six gain on customer numbers with a

lower cost to serve.

  • Wholesale price rises and energy price cap.
slide-67
SLIDE 67

Set up challenges

  • Expertise and resource.
  • Experience of commercial companies.
  • Pace of decisions and approvals.
  • Risk appetite.
  • Political pressures, investment priorities.
  • Governance and shareholder requirements.
  • Transparency potential commercial risk.
  • Level of press scrutiny and interest in a local authority energy company.
  • Freedom of Information requests e.g. during local election campaigns.
  • Scale of the next 3-years.
slide-68
SLIDE 68

Small Energy Suppliers

  • Consolidation amongst small suppliers, tougher regulation.
  • Strategic partnerships.
  • Market for white labels and white label plus.
  • Regulation thresholds reduced.
  • Needs to be tougher rules in supply licenses, financial checks.
  • There needs to be joined up thinking to truly challenge the UK

energy market.

slide-69
SLIDE 69

Public Ownership - Benefits

  • Scale at a community level, local authorities are a trusted brand and

understand the community dynamics.

  • Smart Meter roll-out, less abortive visits, higher take-up.
  • Link energy supply and local energy generation, local PPA’s.
  • Community regeneration and renewable infrastructure, getting the

planning right.

  • Lessons learnt, passing on the knowledge and resource.
  • Easily replicated.
  • Understanding at neighbourhood level.
  • Trusted brand.
slide-70
SLIDE 70

Conclusion - An Energy Company for Wales?

  • Welsh Government Stakeholder Engagement Events, March 2017 concluded:

“Across the three Energy Company Events, a clear consensus was reached that it was not the proper business of the Welsh Government to set up an energy supply company.” Lesley Griffiths AM, Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs

  • Scottish Government: Ernst & Young report - Publicly Owned Energy Company Strategic

Outline Case, March 2018 “Creation of a SG incorporated “Topco” company with joint venture subsidiaries operated by individual local authorities (LAs). The subsidiaries will White Label the supply of electricity and gas from the Energy Co. and bring a locally branded supply to the market. The products will be consistent across the LAs. It would be up to individual LAs whether they participate in the vehicle.”

  • New Opportunities for collaborative working, sharing expertise and knowledge and

developing partnerships.
