In 2021-22 conducted a pilot feasibility study into establishing a community energy club for Carluke residents. Scene conducted detailed energy and financial modelling of energy club scenarios and proposed governance structures for optimal operation. The results were promising - the community energy club is capable of delivering equitable community energy with substantial reductions in baseline electricity costs and can provide network flexibility.
A baseline heat demand study of the Stowmarket Health, Education and Leisure Facility (SHELF) was conduted by Scene in 2022 to accompnay an application to the Heat Networks Delivery Unit (HNDU) for support in the development of a heat network to meet the heating requirements for the area. The Energy Demand Assessment provides an annual and peak heat load for each building owned by SHELF, as well as for the proposed buildings which will form part of the planned heat network.
A feasibility study carried out by Scene in 2022 into several renewable energy clusters based in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. This project looked into the viability of a number of different renewable energy solutions across the area considering the unique opportunities and constraints of each cluster. This work was conducted with the support of the Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF).
In 2022, Scene conducted 10 detailed assessments of community halls throughout the Scottish Borders on behalf of The Bridge, a charity organisation seeking to support community-led decarbonisation and enable the continued existence of community halls, as an important space for local identity and social cohension.
In 2020 - 2022, Scene conducted a feasibility assessment for solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging at the Galaxy Sports facility in Grangemouth, Scotland. The study developed into a viable project which was implemented during 2022 and continues to operate, providing clean energy to the site, powering LEDs for the site's sports fields, and charging visitors electric vehicles.
The William Scott Abbott Trust (WSAT) secured funding through the UK Government Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) to undertake a feasibility study to explore low carbon energy generation, demand reduction, and mobility options at its Sacrewell Heritage Farm and Country Centre near Peterborough. The study was undertaken between April 2022 – August 2022, comprising a baseline spatial and energy assessment; technical, financial, and commercial modelling to assess primary opportunities; and a project roadmap for onwards development of shortlisted options.
Scene Connect Ltd. (Scene) was appointed to conduct a low carbon options and business appraisal for the Alt Housing Co-operative (AHC) in Liverpool, in partnership with North West Housing Services (NWHS), and Zero Carbon Liverpool City Region Ltd. (ZCL-CR).
In 2022, a feasibility study was conducted by Grantchester Parish Council with technical support from Scene and Townrock Energy, and funding form the Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF). The project sought to define how a low carbon heating system could benefit Bildeston residents and businesses through reduced energy bills and carbon emissions.
A low carbon heat network feasibility study was undertaken by Scene during 2022 in the village of Bildeston, Suffolk. The project sought to define how a low carbon heating system could benefit Bildeston residents and businesses through reduced energy bills and carbon emissions. The feasibility study was conducted with the support of the Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) by Heating Bildeston, a not-for-profit group of Bildeston residents seeking to secure a low carbon future for Bildeston.
Scene is suspporting the Derbyshire, Derby City, and Peak District National Park local authorities with a spatial renewable energy assessment. This research will contribute to these Councils' local development plans and supplementary climate change regulatory guidance, by highlighting, modelling, and appraising key regions in the locality best suited for particular renewable energy generation and low carbon technology development.
On behalf of the Airlie Street Hall Development Trust, Scene is developing a Community Investment Plan for local development within Alyth, Scotland. By gathering local input through a series of community workshops, discussions, and online events, Scene will produce an actionable plan for use of the community's revenue derived from the nearby community-owned wind turbine at the Welton of Creuchies.
Building on the Isle of Ulva's Redevelopment Masterplan, Scene is supporting the island to develop a plan for the sustaianble redevelopment and repopulation, after many decades of population decline and emigration.
