Report of the Strategic Director, Economy, Innovation and Growth

Minutes:

Consideration has been given to energy tariffs for High Rise Energy Infrastructure for Gateshead Housing Tenants (HEIGHTs) project residents for Winter 2022/23.

 

 

 

The alternative options to that being recommended, but which were discounted, included setting lower tariffs or tariffs beyond 31 March 2023.

 

 

 

RESOLVED -

(i)

That the proposed heat and electricity tariffs for the period 1 November 2022 – 31 March 2023 and communication of these to HEIGHTs residents be approved.

 

 

 

 

(ii)

That tariffs continue to be reviewed every six months.

 

 

 

 

(iii)

That the lobbying of government for additional financial support to operators of heat networks that serve domestic customers be approved.

 

 

 

The above decisions have been made for the following reasons:

 

 

 

 

(A)

To comply with heat and electricity supply agreements in place with customers.

 

 

 

 

(B)

To ensure the HEIGHTs scheme recovers its operating and construction costs over its lifetime.

 

 

 

 

(C)

To ensure HEIGHTs customers continue to pay fair and market reflective prices for their heating and electricity.
