A 5th Option: Renewable Energy

A fifth way to reduce household energy costs

(including the households environmental

footprint) is to rely less on fossil fuels and more on

renewable energy sources: principally, electricity

generated by solar, water, wind, and various types

of biomass. The upfront costs put this option wellbeyond the means of low and many middle-

income households. Over the long term, however,

as fossil fuels rise in price, a growing market for

renewables is bound to make these costs more

bearable. Accelerating that trend will be the

volume of renewables that householders or

businesses themselves can generate.

Accordingly, early in 2010 YES launched YES

Renewables to specialize in the installation of solar

photovoltaic (PV) panel systems for residences,

businesses, and communities. The launch was

timed to take advantage of the markets response

to the Feed-In Tariff (FIT) instituted that year by

the U.K. Government. Under the FIT, electrical

utility companies pay property owners a tariff for

all the electricity they generate by renewable

means (barring biomass) plus a fee for anyelectricity they export to the power grid. The

tariffs and fees are adjusted to the retail price

index, and payable for 20 years after installation

(25 years in the case of PV systems).

The YES Renewables calculator estimates that

a house with six PV panels on its roof, generating

925 kilowatt hours per annum, could expect to

earn $658 a year in tariffs and export fees, and

$27,766 over the next 25 years (given 4.1%

inflation and 4% rise in electricity rates). It would

also save the household $89 annually on its

electricity bills, and $3,668 in 25 years, if hal

generated electricity is used in the home.

Installation, using only accredited installers a

equipment, would run the household about

$11,500, an investment that would be paid d

13 years. The total of carbon the environmewould be spared annually: half a tonne.

mesure que les prix des combustibles fossiles

augmentent, des millions de mnages sont

menacs par la pauvret du combustible . Nous

pourrions traiter de ceci en contrlant les cotsnergtiques, en augmentant le revenu par mnage

ou en mettant au dfi les notions des personnes par

rapport laccession la proprit. Kirklees,

Angleterre, une initiative centre sur lefficacit

nergtique des mnages a eu un impact significatif

sur la pauvret du combustible ainsi que sur

lemploi et les missions de gaz effet de serre.

En 2000, lOSBL Kirklees Energy Services (KES) a

t cr pour grer lnergie dans la rgion

mtropolitaine. La moiti de ses cots ont t

couverts par SAVE, un programme de lUnion

europenne qui vise la cration de capacit locale

pour rduire les missions de carbone. KES sest

rapidement dvelopp en un guichet unique pour

les propritaires intresss par lisolation, larduction de courants dair, la mise niveau de

fournaises, et dautres mesures de conservation

dnergie. Les coopratives financires offraient

des prts taux prfrentiels aux propritaires.

Les autorits locales et les services publics ont

financ de gnreux programmes de rabais. Un

groupe dentrepreneurs qualifis ont ralis les

installations et ont pay KES des frais de

rfrence.

En 2008, KES a pu utiliser tout ce quelle avait

appris au travail travers plusieurs quartiers

faible revenu. En trois ans, la stratgie intgre e

globale de KES a fourni aux mnages 9 10

millions (16 $ CA millions) par anne en conom

dnergie. Plus de 160 emplois ont t crs. Lesmissions de carbone ont diminu denviron

55 000 tonnes par anne. Chaque livre que les

autorits locales et le programme national Warm

Zones ont investi dans le travail de KES a eu un

effet de levier de 5 livres en services defficacit

nergtique. De nouveaux partenariats crent

actuellement le march local pour des sortes

dnergies renouvelables.
