Project in progress or not due to be delivered until a later

the timetable.
Red
Likelihood of non-delivery of some or all elements of the
project or no awareness of an action plan in place,

Energy Objectives: To reduce CO2 emissions by 10% by 31.3.11 and by 25% by 31.3.14 while stimulating renewable installations and environmental
technologies sector growth locally.
Overall commentary by Lead Organisation on progress made on Energy Objectives and next steps:
With a baseline now established of 1,250 tonnes per annum (2007), the Board has agreed to a budget in 2010/11 of £15,000 to invest in energy
reduction and energy efficiency measures. This should lower emissions by 8% by 01/03/11 with a potential financial saving of £3,500 per annum
This capital investment is being augmented by staff training, bringing about a wider awareness and understanding of our corporate aim of reducing
CO2 emissions from our buildings. A staff incentive scheme has begun (Oct 2009) whereby staff are rewarded a proportion of the cost of energy
they save each quarter. Through this staff scheme, we expect to make a further 6% reduction in energy use by 2011 – thereby reaching the CSP
target of 10% by 31/3/11. A scoping study for appropriate renewables for our estate is scheduled for February 2010, after which a review of the
options will be presented to the Board in March 2010. We have had difficulties in signing up to a green tariff as we are contracted to our current
energy provider until 1/3/12.
