What is the Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework?
The Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework (CRIF) will examine the potential opportunities to generate renewable energy in Cambridgeshire. It will map where energy is used in the county and where it could be generated using renewables such as solar panels, wind turbines, and biomass combined heat and power plants. This information will be used to plan and deliver investment in renewable energy, providing the pathway to a future of low carbon energy.
The framework will take into account the need to effectively use public assets such as land, to involve local communities in energy projects, and to attract investment in the low carbon economy into the county. It will inform the development of planning policies and demonstrate Cambridgeshire's commitment to meeting national targets for zero carbon homes and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
The work commenced in winter 2010 and is expected to take 18 months in total. As well as the Cambridgeshire Local Authorities, partners from the development and energy industries will be involved. This project is being developed as a part of the Climate Change Skills Fund. The fund is managed by Climate East on behalf of Improvement East.
