  abstract

  The Greater London Authority (GLA) is working in partnership with stakeholders on subregional local area energy planning (LAEP) across London. This programme aims to take a whole system, place-based approach to energy planning, assembling data and evidence to define optimised pathways and delivery plans for decarbonisation across London. The purpose of an LAEP is to identify the range of activities required to get to net zero and translate high level targets into on- the-ground action, and begins with the subregional data, evidence and analysis provided here. This report covers the 'South' subregion which includes 8 boroughs: Kingston, Merton, Sutton, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham and Greenwich. It concludes Phase 1 of the programme, covering stages 1-4 of the Energy Systems Catapult's definition of Local Area Energy Planning. The report focuses on a data driven approach, using the Mayor's 'Accelerated Green' decarbonisation pathway, to identify the actions that are required to enable a just transition to net-zero carbon emissions, the co-ordination required and the impacts on and evolution needed in London's energy systems at various scales. A particular focus is on integrating heat networks and the zoning policy into local area energy plans and to identify opportunities for multi-borough and cross- sectoral working to accelerate progress and make best use of resources.

  [Quote: "Around 75% of homes are heated by gas boilers, with around 10% using communal heating or heat networks. Around 7% use electric heaters and only 3% using heat pumps. The proportion using heat networks or communal heating is around 5 times higher than the UK average." Home heating systems detailed by type, eg approximately 300 with heat pumps cf approximately 60k with boilers in Kingston borough out of 68k.]
