Andrea Lewis, Cabinet Member for Service Transformation and relevant officers attended to brief the Panel on the Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP) and answer the Panel’s questions. Rebecca Fogarty, Chair of the Climate Change and Nature Recovery Service Transformation Committee also attended to update the Panel on the work the Committee has done towards the development of the Plan. Discussion Points: · Panel was informed it is not a Council Plan but is a plan for the City and County of Swansea area and has been driven by Welsh Government priorities. Swansea is part of the southwest region, and the Council is successfully working with colleagues on a regional basis. All authorities are struggling with very limited resources to deliver on this agenda. · Panel heard the Plan is not just dependent on the Council’s actions, it is very much dependent on things outside of its control, UK and WG policy. The Council is trying to focus on the actions that are within its control and engage with stakeholders whose activity will impact on the delivery of net zero by 2050. · Panel asked questions about local residents not being included in the wider stakeholders in the Plan; housing stock and heat pump technology; grants for residents to install heat pumps; energy generation in council homes; potential dual use of car parks; planning around solar panels in old AONB area; technology along motorways to produce electricity; help for communities taking forward energy schemes; district heating networks; preparations in place for apprenticeships and training; use of micro hydro generation. Actions: · Panel to receive information on suitability of properties in West Cross for heat pump technology · Panel to receive information on grants available to install heat pumps · Information to be provided on what is available in terms of communities taking forward energy schemes.
Panel considered the work plan and noted items for the next meeting.
Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
