LP56 Decentralised Energy Networks (DEN)

All developments should maximise opportunities to incorporate decentralised energy to support reductions in energy use and emissions.

New major development should connect to an existing network; unless it is clearly demonstrated that it is not technically feasible or economically viable.

Only when it can be clearly demonstrated that all options to link into existing schemes have been explored should development provide on-site DEN. Developments should be designed to connect to other developments at a later date.

Where there is a planned DEN within feasible and viable range of future connection, proposed major developments should be designed to connect to that network.
