2 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 1. Background 1.1 LHEES stages This LHEES has been developed over eight stages, as outlined in Figure 1. Completing stages 1-6 provided the data analysis and evidence base that forms the foundation for the Argyll and Bute LHEES Strategy (Stage 7) and Delivery Plan (Stage 8). Figure 1: Summary of LHEES Stages • The LHEES Strategy is a long-term strategic framework for decarbonising heat in buildings and improving energy efficiency across Argyll and Bute, framed around the six considerations set out in the LHEES Strategy document. The strategy takes a long-term view and covers the next 15-20 years. Argyll and Bute Council’s LHEES Strategy is data-led and sets the direction the Council is moving towards. • The LHEES Delivery Plan accompanies the strategy. The plan is flexible and iterative, outlining how the Council will implement its strategy over the next five years. It outlines the areas requiring further analysis and investigation and identifies low or no-regret measures for decarbonising heat in buildings. It provides a focus for the Council to consult with and work with stakeholders to deliver the LHEES strategic objectives. Both documents will be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect legislative changes, progress towards net zero, new available technologies and funding, and changing priorities in the local authority. Argyll and Bute Council’s LHEES Strategy and Delivery Plan can be found on Argyll and Bute Council’s website.

3 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 1.2 Stakeholders A variety of methods were employed to engage stakeholders in developing the priorities for the LHEES and are set out in detail in the LHEES strategy document. Further engagement will occur with stakeholders to develop and expand the high- level proposed actions set out below. Stakeholders will also play a crucial role in implementing the actions and solutions. The LHEES delivery plan is flexible and iterative to capitalise on emerging opportunities and to allow the LHEES to support and enhance other relevant work in Argyll and Bute. 1.3 Spatial approach Spatial zoning is considered as part of the LHEES. There are two types of zones. Strategic zones present a visualisation of the potential pathways to decarbonise the building stock at a local authority level. Delivery Areas are at a higher granularity than strategic zones. These spatial zones should set out clusters of buildings within a strategic zone that could become a delivery project. While the Council has embraced a spatial approach for certain aspects of the LHEES methodology, it has not confined itself to exclusively utilising a spatial approach to deliver decarbonisation measures. 1.4 Argyll and Bute’s LHEES Vision and Priorities Argyll and Butes LHEES vision is: The Council has identified eight priorities for the LHEES: 1. Improving grid capacity 2. Tackling supply chain constraints and shortage of skills
Page 5
4 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 3. Improving education and awareness of decarbonisation requirements and solutions 4. Tackling fuel poverty 5. Building sustainable and energy-resilient communities 6. Ensuring a “Just transition” 7. Decarbonising heat sources 8. Increasing the number of energy efficient buildings in Argyll and Bute. 1.5 Local Generation Projects Renewable energy generation from sources such as wind, solar, and hydro is not within the scope of the LHEES. However, the Argyll and Bute LHEES has included local generation because it could help address certain grid constraint issues. Additionally, it provides a pathway to sustainable energy resilience in communities. It also offers opportunities for a ‘just transition’ by potentially providing local, low-cost, clean energy to communities facing higher electricity costs than most other communities in the UK.

5 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 1.6 Next Steps The next step is to establish a Stakeholder Implementation Group. This group will be responsible for further developing, revising, and adjusting the proposed actions and solutions set out below. This important task will enable stakeholders to take ownership of delivering specific actions, setting targets, and specifying timelines to achieve them. 2. Delivery Plan Overarching priority - Improve the accuracy of data. Action Description Who Obtain more accurate data to better inform future iterations of the LHEES Collaborate with local communities, council services, organisations, agencies, and researchers to acquire precise data concerning the implementation of energy efficiency measures and the assessment of heat demands instead of relying on modelled data. The next steps are to: • Identify and acquire pertinent datasets which national organisations are gathering. For example, the recently collected building dataset by Ordnance Survey. • Utilise the data from Scottish and Southern Energy Network’s (SSEN) LENZA tool. • Acquire relevant data sets from Scottish Power Energy Network (SPEN) data tool. • Utilise the findings from the Community Planning Partnership’s Regional Climate Change Plan ‘call for evidence’. • Obtain data from Building Assessment Reports (BAR). • Consider incorporating gathering data through existing mechanisms such as: o Community Housing Assessment Toolkit (CHAT) o National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) Local Place Plans o Community-led research includes the AMAZE project, Islay Carbon Neutral Islands Project, Iona Heat Network research project, Isle of Mull Energy Audit and Oban Energy Plan. • Undertake bespoke research projects to fill data gaps. Local communities, Council services, Community Planning Partnership HIE ALIenergy Researchers SSEN SPEN Public Sector Building managers Community organisations gathering these datasets

6 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 2.1 -Addressing Grid Capacity. Action Description Who Grid Constraints Identify areas with available grid capacity and prioritise projects in these locations. Engage with both Argyll and Bute’s electricity Distribution Systems Operators (DSO) to assess the implications of individual heat pump installations on the local grid. The Council will use SSEN’s and SPEN’s project planning tools to determine where grid capacity would allow decarbonisation projects to occur. LHEES Officer SPEN SSEN Grid Constraints Identify the LHEES priority areas impacted by grid constraints. SSEN’s LENZA tool identifies areas where there are grid constraints. Overlaying this data with GIS maps outlining the LHEES priorities provides a visual representation of the area requiring urgent grid infrastructure enhancements. The Council needs to have access to a similar tool for the SPEN area. LHEES Officer SPEN SSEN Grid Constraints Develop plans and investment streams to resolve grid constraints in LHEES priority areas. Enhancing the grid infrastructure in urban and rural areas is essential to facilitating the transition to decarbonised heat and preventing rural areas from being marginalised or left behind. Support Distribution System Operators (DSOs) to secure investment in grid infrastructure for the priority areas outlined in the LHEES. Collaboration and dialogue among the Council, the Scottish Government, and DSOs are integral to accomplishing this target. ABC Senior Management SSEN SPEN Scottish Government Grid Constraints Consider opportunities to utilise local generation where there are grid constraints. Generating electricity from renewables is not within the scope of the LHEES. However, Argyl and Bute has included investigating local generation and distribution opportunities in its LHEES as a solution or partial solution to the constrained electricity grid.

7 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 2.2- Tackling the skills gap and improving the supply chain. Action Description Who Skills and Supply Chain Identify essential skills required for implementing energy efficiency measures and heat decarbonisation systems. Encourage training and skills development providers to offer training opportunities in energy efficiency and heat decarbonisation skills. Support the development of the supply chain. Build on the recommendations identified by Historic Environment Scotland following their skills audit in Argyll and Bute. Historic Environment Scotland advised that professionals in education, alongside Skills Development Scotland, should advocate for construction careers as a favourable career path for school students. They also proposed that schools introduce vocational courses to provide students with practical exposure to such careers. Link into Education Service’s programme to encourage primary school children to explore STEM skills and careers. Participate in the Future Learning Pathway forum facilitated by ACT to enable organisations to work together to develop career paths in the green economy. Increase the number of apprenticeships in decarbonisation-related roles to alleviate the skills shortages. Identify and address the underlying causes of low enrolment in locally offered decarbonisation and renewable energy courses. Collaborate with the Argyll and Bute Skills Development Partnership to establish a skills pathway for local individuals employed in other employment sectors, facilitating their smooth transition to roles within the green economy. For Business Development and Economic Development services to work with existing construction and heating businesses to develop an approach that enables employees to upskill and equip them with the necessary skills to pursue emerging opportunities within the green economy. Participate in national discussions regarding skills gaps in decarbonisation and identify best practices and successful approaches. Implement the identified solution in Argyll and Bute or adapt it to suit the local context.

Action Description Key stakeholders Sustainable energy resilient communities priority. Enhance community resilience by encouraging communities to formulate localised “place-based” energy decarbonisation plans. Promote examples of good practice, such as the AMAZE and Zero Carbon Islay community energy plans. Also, investigate if there are opportunities to incorporate heat decarbonisation plans into other community plans, such as: • NPF4 (place-based plans) • CHAT plans(community-led housing plans) • Community Planning Partnership (place plans) LDP Team Housing Services Community Planning Partnership Community Trusts and Organisations Economic Development The LHEES Interagency Delivery Plan Group
Page 12
11 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 Sustainable energy resilient communities priority. Explore mechanisms enabling communities to maximise energy generation benefits in their area. I.e. promote community wealth building. Community wealth building could include: • Establishing local energy distribution projects. • Providing cheaper, cleaner energy. • Providing communal heating projects. • Creating high-quality jobs in the green economy. • Creating opportunities for local businesses. Economic Development The LHEES Interagency Delivery Plan Group LHEES Officer Just Transition Identify suitable decarbonisation approaches for remote rural and island communities. When formulating decarbonisation policies and strategies, policymakers must consider the specific requirements of remote, rural, and island communities. For instance, it's essential to ensure that regulations such as the Heat in Buildings (HIB) bill categorises biomass as a permitted heat decarbonisation option as this would facilitate the shift from fossil fuels to this carbon-neutral energy source. ABC senior management LHEES Officer Elected Members Scottish Government A Just Transition To ensure that the move to net zero is fair and equitable. The price individual building owners must pay to connect to a low or no-carbon heat source is determined by the building’s location. In heat-dense communities, investors are keen to build heat networks that provide low- or no-cost connections to decarbonised heat. Conversely, building owners may face significant costs to connect to a decarbonised heat source in non-heat-dense areas. Therefore, additional support will be necessary for these communities. For example, one solution could be to provide funding packages or grants to communities located in areas where there is a lack of private sector investment in heat network infrastructure. Scottish Government A just transition Maximise funding and investment in remote rural and island decarbonisation projects. To enhance access to funding and investment for project delivery, it is essential to: • Raise awareness of the existing funding sources • Seek out alternative funding sources to strengthen retrofit/heat decarbonisation efforts • Find ways to use existing funding more effectively Economic Development LHEES Officer
Page 13
12 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 • Improve opportunities for external investment in heat decarbonisation projects. It is imperative to take proactive measures to prevent the exclusion of remote rural and island communities from funding opportunities due to their high capital costs. This can be achieved through the following steps: • Ensuring that funding entities are well- informed about the underlying reasons for the high capital costs faced by remote rural and island communities. • Advocating for an equitable allocation of resources. • Outlining the restricted opportunities for private investment attributable to the lack of heat density in these areas. Scottish Government and other funders 2.5- Tackling Energy Efficiency where it is a driver for Fuel Poverty Action Description Key stakeholders Fuel poverty Prioritise installing heat networks or heat pumps in homes that use direct electric heating. A targeted focus on households dependent on direct electric heating represents an opportunity to alleviate fuel poverty. This is attributable to the cost-effectiveness of heat pumps and heat networks compared with direct electric heating systems. RSLs Landlords Homeowners The LHEES Interagency Delivery Plan Group Fuel poverty Focus on homes where poor energy efficiency contributes to fuel poverty. Buildings with substandard insulation require more heat to maintain a comfortable temperature, resulting in higher heating costs. This increased energy demand can lead to households falling into fuel poverty. Prioritising these properties will help alleviate fuel poverty.

13 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 2.6- Energy Efficiency. Action Description Who Energy Efficiency Measures Engage with private sector building owners and tenants to encourage greater adoption of energy efficiency initiatives. Increasing uptake of energy efficiency measures may be achieved by: • Raising awareness of the ABS, ECO and ECO flex programmes • Promoting case studies and good news stories to demonstrate tangible benefits. ABS team Energy Efficiency Measures Signposting structures are in place to enable building owners to identify potential resources to fund energy efficiency works. Not all building owners qualify for ABS or ECO funding and may require guidance on accessing funding. Local and national awareness campaigns are necessary to inform building owners about financing options for energy efficiency measures. (See awareness raising section of the plan) Scottish Government The LHEES Interagency Delivery Plan Group Argyll and Bute Council Energy Saving Trust Home Energy Scotland Energy Efficiency Measures in Mixed Tenure Properties Engage with stakeholders in mixed- tenure properties to implement energy- efficient measures for the entire building. When property owners or residents inquire about or receive funding from schemes such as the Argyll and Bute Council’s Scheme of Assistance, the Council will recommend that energy- efficiency measures be implemented within buildings. Undertake tailored initiatives such as the Warmer Homes project in Tarbert. This mixed-tenure structure received funding from the Warmer Homes Scotland initiative to address sections occupied by social rented tenants. However, the scheme did not extend to tenants in the private rented sector (PRS) and owner- occupiers. To address this disparity, the Council pursued funding from the ABS ‘Special Project Fund’. This allocation covered the financial contribution that would have been required from tenants in the PRS and homeowners to ensure comprehensive treatment of the entire building. Housing Team RSLs

14 Argyll and Bute Council LHEES Delivery Plan 2024 2.7- Decarbonising heat pathways Action Description Key Stakeholders Retrofit Off gas grid, domestic, private properties. By encouraging domestic building owners in Category 1 and 2 buildings to consider transitioning to zero-carbon heating Argyll and Bute’s LHEES is technology agnostic, i.e. it does not promote any particular decarbonised heat source. The Council will work with key stakeholders to promote the heat decarbonisation options available to domestic private properties in Off-Gas Grid areas. Interagency Delivery Plan Forum Retrofit Private Housing Stock By supporting the Private Rented Sector (PRS) tenants and homeowners to transition to a low or no-carbon heat source. Ensure Landlords are aware of their decarbonisation obligations following the enactment of the Heat in Buildings Bill. Enhance the promotion of • Warmer Homes Scotland programme • Area Based Scheme (EEE: ABS) • ECO and ECOFLEX programmes Encourage eligible homeowners and tenants to sign up for these programmes. Develop/identify an appropriate toolkit for homeowners to assist them on their decarbonising journey. Landlord Registration Team ABS Team LHEES Officer Retrofit Social Housing Stock Ensure Registered Social Landlords (RSL) continue to decarbonise the heating source of their stock. RSLs are currently decarbonising their stock to comply with EESSH/ EESSH2. In the future, RSLs must adhere to the Social Housing Net Zero Standard (SHNZS) once it is enacted. RSL’s Decarbonisation Pathways Consider how locally generated electricity Consider how this surplus electricity can be used, for example: • Distributed locally to fulfil local energy needs • to create thermal stores, ABRA Economic Development LHEES Officer

All of which could be utilised locally to provide low-cost clean heat. Energy generators Decarbonisation Pathways Investigate decarbonisation pathways using emerging technologies or existing technologies in new ways This will include: o Identify potential opportunities for local generation and distribution o Explore Geothermal o Explore solar potential. o Explore hydrogen and what solutions can be provided by the Argyll Hydrogen Hub o Demonstration projects such as hydrogen and gas mix o Thermal stores o Industrial-sized electric battery stores such as Annan Distillery o Smart grid solutions o Keep up to date with novel solutions through conferences, workshops, reports, and research findings, as well as maintain relationships with the industry. The LHEES Interagency Delivery Plan Group LHEES Officer Economic Development Decarbonisation Pathways Implement energy efficiency measures in non-domestic Council assets. Identify the required decarbonisation pathways for council assets. This could be achieved by expanding the Non-Domestic Energy Efficiency Fund to decarbonise further council assets. Property and Estates Services Decarbonisation Projects Continued enaction of the Council’s Decarbonisation Plan The Council will utilise the Decarbonisation Plan to determine the prioritisation of assets for investment. Property and Estates Services Decarbonisation Projects. Support previously proposed decarbonisation projects. Considerable effort has been dedicated by the LHEES, the LHEES pilot, and several other studies commissioned by organisations and community groups to investigate decarbonisation pathways. These studies have all highlighted various projects that could offer solutions for decarbonising heat. The LHEES aims to compile this work and create a list of potential projects. The Inter-agency Delivery Plan Group will explore possible approaches to execute these projects. See Appendix 2 for examples.
