2 LHEES Strategy – Delivery Plan 2024-2029 November 2023 INTRODUCTION This document presents the first 5-year Delivery Plan (2024-2029) accompanying the first Perth and Kinross Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES) (2024-2045). This has been developed in partnership with key stakeholders and provides a strong basis for action for local communities, government, investors, developers and wider stakeholders, pinpointing areas for targeted intervention and early, low-regrets measures in the near to medium term. Due to the dynamic nature of this plan, and rapidly evolving regulatory, funding and policy landscapes, it is intended to be kept as a live document and published as a live plan in a digital planning platform being developed through Project RESOP (Regional Energy System Optimisation Planning) by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) under Ofgem’s Network Innovation Allowance. The Delivery Plan will be reviewed regularly to ensure partners are able to respond flexibly to changes in need across Perth and Kinross particularly how actions would be funded. Full details of the LHEES Delivery Plan actions are detailed in the following tables.
