As part of a national review of our energy infrastructure we are undertaking modelling and stakeholder consultation to create a Local Area Energy Plan for Erewash. This will combine with other councils plans in the East Midlands to inform a Regional Energy Strategy Plan.
These plans will include:
A review of the condition of our housing stock - it’s age, energy performance certification (EPC), & current energy usage
Assessment of measures required to reach at least EPC C for all premises (public, residential & commercial)
Industry energy usage, forecasted demand, and measures to decarbonise/ electrify the local industries
Energy demand and usage forecasting
Assessment of the amount of renewable energy generation required for our area - including land and roof space available for this purpose
EV and other infrastructure rollout requirements – personal, public and business use.
Outlining priorities for our area
Detailing a clear and measured plan of action for a renewable energy future + to reach net zero carbon by 2050.
Please see the 'Local Area Energy Plan Stages' below to see where we're at.

We cannot promise to include everyone in the stakeholder engagement process. However if you believe you have a unique perspective, idea, or work in an energy intensive industry, please let us know. Fill out the form here and we will be in touch.
Stages 1 & 2: Data Collection & Engagement Strategy
Local Area Energy Plan has finished this stage
All energy use, wastage, demand and generation data was collected for Erewash. The LAEP was successfully launched with a pre-engagement meeting on 31st July.
Stage 3 - September
Local Area Energy Plan is currently at this stage
All the data has been compared against multiple datasets to ensure the modelling is robust and demonstrates the reality of our energy use and demand across the borough.
Stages 4-8: October 2025 to January 2026
this is an upcoming stage for Local Area Energy Plan
Different Net Zero targets will be modelled, with various short and long-term projects identified.
These will be prioritised and assessed for their deliverability.
The governance, finance and project delivery will then be planned.
