“Deal size is too small”
“Projects are mostly conceptual or poorly
formed.”
“Inexperienced in dealing with project investment appraisal”
“Projects are at conceptual phase and/or similar projects have failed before.”
“Investors will always expect a degree of risk, whether its low/medium or high. Focus is
needed on how to mitigate that
risk.
Long term cash-flows with bench marking
examples goes a long way to make
investments attractive.”

1. Acknowledge the ‘Climate Emergency’;
2. Pledge to make the Oxfordshire County Council carbon neutral by 2030, taking into account both production and consumption emissions;
3. Call on Westminster to provide the powers and resources to make the 2030 target possible;
4. Continue to work with partners across the county and region to deliver this new goal through all relevant strategies;
5. Report to Council within six months with the actions the Council will take to address this emergency.

Low carbon growth possible – but needs significant investment in infrastructure -£100 million/year to 2030
Value of the low carbon sector - generates £1.15 billion/year in sales and employ 8,800 people: 7% of Oxfordshire’s economy.
Investment could add £1.35 billion annually to the Oxfordshire economy by 2030, creating over 11,000 new jobs
Local Energy Oxfordshire - Delivering the Energy Strategy
1. Secure a smart, modern, clean energy infrastructure – including increased electricity grid capacity - which supports our planned housing, industrial and commercial growth, and changing energy requirements
Planning for growth Overcoming constraints
2. Lead nationally and internationally to reduce countywide emissions by 50% compared with 2008 levels by 2030 and set a pathway to achieve zero carbon growth by 2050.

Managing energy investment risk
Three case studies
Three different sets of investment risk
Key lessons learned
Two Solar Farms
Case Study 1: Risks 2014-2017 Case Study 2: Risks 2018-2021
Same asset class – different risks
Investment case differencesBusiness case
• Four years apart
• Cost of grid connection quadrupled
• No finance incentive available
• Lower IRR despite larger project
Regulation
• OFGEM TCR = finance impact
• Stressed distribution network = major reinforcement costs
Market changes
• Lower wholesale price for sales
• Private wire sales to increase revenues
• Solar Panel costs lower
Case Study 3: 2019
Regulatory change - COMPLIANCE WITH NZEB
“Where a building is erected, it
must be a nearly zero-energy
building.”
Building Regulations 2010 part 6
(as amended in 2013),
Regulation 25B:
• Opportunity or Cost?
• New business model development
based on benefit share
• New flexibilities - stakeholders
• S106 agreements -viability
• Shared understanding DfE, BEIS,
MHCLG, Developer, LPA, County
KEY LESSONS
Every investment carries a different risk
bundle due to changing regulation +
markets
Every investment case can not be based on
absolute certainty (LA culture!)
Take a long term view ( 205) to put risk
into perspective and achieve societal
change

• Can you make a sensible projection of your future
energy costs?
• Would you know what a good deal looks like for
your organisation?
• If you expect an investor to invest in your project,
why wouldn’t you?

Private Sector Finance for Public Sector Projects
Opportunity:
✓Significant amount of capital available✓Ability to leverage additional funding (including public sector)✓Commercial expertise and flexibility✓Fully commissioned project with no up-front capex payments for client✓Reduced opex with performance based payment terms under service charge✓All associated risks (construction, commissioning, operating) assumed by SDCL project company✓Innovation, flexibility and industry best practice
Benefits to Client:
✓Financial:✓Cost certainty and risk transfer✓Reduction of operating costs through PPA/service charge for energy produced
✓Environmental:✓Greenhouse gas emission reductions✓Opportunities to add other energy generation, conservation and procurement solutions
✓Infrastructure:✓Improve efficiency, productivity, management and resilience✓Potential for export/campus/micro-grid opportunities✓Potential to generate energy to provide services for the grid
Providing clients with value, transparency and choice:
✓Regular performance based service charge: pre-determined payments over contract term offering long term price certainty; or✓Purchase option following successful implementation for a pre-determined price during a commissioning period; or✓Purchase option post the commissioning period at a price calculated by discounting the remaining service charge payments
4
Private Sector Finance for Public Sector Projects
Challenges:
✓Procurement✓Favours lowest cost not highest quality✓Rigid and inflexible✓Risk of gaming the tender✓Often expensive and time consuming to bid
✓Authentication of carbon reduction✓Public funding
✓Low cost and undemanding public funding crowds out private sector✓Inefficient use of public capital
✓Development Risk✓Projects often need extensive development work to establish feasibility✓Lack of resources or skills to conduct this – favours conventional solutions
✓Unrealistic/Mismatched expectations
How can these be addressed:
✓ESCO approach:✓Focuses on delivered efficiency rather than capex✓Straightforward to monitor carbon reduction✓ESCO carries design and implementation risk✓Risks can be partially or fully allocated to the private sector
✓Service Agreements:✓Recognised as off-balance sheet for PSBR purposes✓Relatively straightforward to procure✓Performance based – payment linked to delivery of services✓Flexible – can be long term and possible to extend

Community Municipal BondsBond issued by the public sector directly to the public via Abundance’s
platform Emulate, as far as possible, established issuance processes but in a much
more streamlined way
Compete with listed market borrowing rates
Platform for communicating with customers and building trust as well as
driving additional social value
Accessible to ordinary investors; low minimum and ISA eligible, helping to
improve financial security
Principles of listed green bonds are followed but no formal rating is required,
reducing time and cost

“We are interested in your reaction to the idea of … an
investment bond which would be backed by local authorities,
which would pay regular interest over the long term, and be very
low risk.
The outcome would be funding for local social and green
infrastructure such as green energy, health and education.”
62% of UK Investors said they would be interested or very

89% of Ethical Investors said they would be interested or

Survey by OnePoll of 2,000 demographically representative UK
adults, March 2019
A number of separate surveys evidence strong demand for low risk investments, and strong interest in supporting social
and green initiatives delivered by their local authority.

(2019)
Retail Investment Market Example (Suffolk)Population of the Suffolk County Council region
757,000 people
567,000 adults
Retail Investment Market
East of England 47% adults have an ISA. The average holding is £25,208 – HMRC ISA Statistics 2018
Suffolk CC ISA holdings = estimated to be £6.7bn
Pension and general savings will tend to be 3x the ISA number
Therefore total savings and investment held by residents in region of £26bn
Estimated that ~£4bn (15%) could match to the return profile of a Community Municipal Bond
Current long term borrowings of the Council are £300m

Social RES – Horizon 2020 Funding
£20-30k grant available for 5-6 councils piloting a Community Municipal Bond
The grant has to be used with authorities where the bond raise is notionally used for green / low
carbon projects
The grant comes with research wrap provided by Trinity College Dublin, this will be used to
research changes in attitude of resident investors to climate change and local authority
Need to identify LAs by end 2019 with funding event happening by end 2020
Grant is sufficient to cover any external costs to pilot a Community Municipal Bond as well as
internal time
