Brighton & Hove Energy Services Coop TIMELINE Agree all properties to be connected Work begins to install the pipe network The heat network is completed The boiler goes live MAR 2019 JULY 2019 FEB 2020 MAR 2020 INSTALLATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY 31ST MARCH 2021 Raise capital costs through share offer JUNE 2019
- 18. Brighton & Hove Energy Services Coop WHAT DOES THIS INVOLVE? What construction work will you do? Will there be access issues getting in and out of Firle? Will there be much noise pollution? When will the work take place and how long will it last?
- 19. Brighton & Hove Energy Services Coop What happens if the system breaks down? MAINTENANCE Do we have to pay a maintenance fee? How reliable is the system??
- 20. Brighton & Hove Energy Services Coop LONGTERM CONSIDERATIONS How will this affect property values? How long will the heat network last?
- 21. Brighton & Hove Energy Services Coop ENERGY EFFICIENCY The long term strategy is to improve the EPC of all energy inefficient properties in the village

Editor's Notes
- #2: This is to introduce the project that BHESCo are developing in co-operation with Reenergise. The feasibility part of the project has been completed and we are here to discuss the findings of our study and present our proposal to you, the residents and businesses of Firle.
- #4: This project is important to create energy security for the village. Oil prices have fluctuated dramatically. The most important consideration is the security of your heating supply.
- #5: Oil prices today are slightly lower than the World Bank projection. The important point to note is that this international institution projects a doubling of oil prices in 10 years.
- #7: Air pollutants such as Sulfur dioxide, Nitrous Oxide and Particulates This will change as a result of our project No more oil tanks in the garden Total CO2 emissions in the village per year is 462 tonnes
- #11: No connection charges no matter your distance to the backbone
