Haringey to invest £15 million in solar panels for schools and homes
25 August 2011: The Tottenham & Wood Green Journal reports that “Schools, libraries, social housing and council offices, which could include the Civic Centre and River Park House, both in Wood Green, will be set up with the photovoltaic panels in a move that could double London’s current solar power capacity. The council will plough in £8.5 million of its own cash into buying panels for council buildings and rent out the rest of its rooftops to third-party providers to raise the remaining £7.5 million for the scheme.“ Read the full story here.
Latest Findings from DECC’s Low Carbon Community Challenge
August 2011: DECC’s Low Carbon Community Challenge (LCCC) was officially launched in February 2010. Amongst the 22 successful applicants supported was one scheme in London – the Muswell Hill Low Carbon Zone, in Haringey, which involves the “installation of photovoltaics on four schools to be used as a learning tool and to encourage behaviour change; a mobile sustainable learning facility; cycle parking and a community renewable energy company that aims to gain funding to generate income for carbon reduction measures in the community.” Winnings projects were given funding of approximately £500,000 each, mainly to install low carbon technologies by March 2010 (phase 1 communities) and March 2011 (phase 2 communities) although the LCCC runs until March 2012.
DECC have today published three reports setting out some of the findings to date from the LCCC, and sharing thoughts from the various community groups on their experience taking forward such projects.

REAP Petite analysis of LCCC
Face-to-face interviews with 4,977 respondents across the Low Carbon Community Challenge (LCCC) areas were conducted in 2010 as part of the LCCC baseline research. This survey yielded considerable attitudinal data.
‘Ten Steps to Save the Cities’
7 July 2011: The New Economics Foundation have set out today ten ‘tried-and-tested solutions’ from their work on local economic development to propose a new way forward for UK cities. Included amongst these is to “Invest in local energy. At present only 0.01 per cent of electricity in England is generated by local authority-owned renewables, despite the scope that exists to install projects on their land and buildings. In Germany the equivalent figure is 100 times higher.” Two examples are cited – both in London:
“The London Borough of Haringey has launched their own Haringey 40:20 organisation, involving business and civil society, because of the scale of the challenge – one in four homes will need to improve energy efficiency, 20,000 will need some kind of renewable generator capacity fitted, and 30,000 local homes will need to be linked up with local energy networks.
But if cities generate energy then local people are employed. If local authorities have a stake in the financing of this, then the surplus can be re-invested into the less well-off areas of a city to increase sustainability. If community organisations are able to invest in energy generation, like the pioneering Peckham Power company in London, then there will be an ongoing benefit to local people which has huge implications for local economies.”
Muswell Hill Low Carbon Zone
May 2011: A mid-project report of the Muswell Hill Low Carbon Zone was produced to establish some of the points learnt and the carbon savings achieved whilst roughly half way through the project.

Haringey Sustainable Design and Construction draft Supplementary Planning Guidance – Draft version from January 2011. Final version anticipated to be adopted February 2012. The draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on Sustainable Design and Construction, once adopted, will form part of Haringey’s Local Development Framework and be considered in determining planning applications. It does not create new policy, but complements and provides clarity on the implementation of national, regional and local policies that promote sustainable buildings, reductions in CO2 emissions and decentralised energy initiatives.

Local Carbon Frameworks Update
15 February 2011:The government is currently running a pilot programme with 9 local authority areas to co-design a series of Local Carbon Frameworks (LCF) to identify what works at what spatial level, and develop templates for action on carbon for all local authorities. Detail the LCF programme and the list of the projects currently underway – which includes a project in the London Borough of Haringey – are available on DECC’s website here.
Haringey publishes its first annual carbon report
19 January 2011: Building on the target adopted by Haringey in 2009 to reduce carbon emissions by 40 percent by 2020 (on a 2005 baseline), the borough has now produced a Carbon Report, “the first of its kind to be produced by a local authority”. The report outlines the scale of carbon emissions in the borough and some of the activities the borough will be leading on to reduce emissions. The carbon report – which is to be updated annually – can be downloaded here.
