Bristol, United Kingdom Vattenfall Full time

**About the job**:
Vattenfall Heat UK (VHUK) was established in 2018 to build out city scale low carbon heat networks in selected core cities across the UK. VHUK is part of Vattenfall Group, the fifth largest energy company in Europe, which is wholly owned by the Swedish Government. Vattenfall has a mission to enable fossil free living within one generation, and all its projects and activities are focused on supporting the decarbonisation of the generation and supply of energy.

VHUK are working with Ameresco as the Strategic Partner for Bristol City Council (BCC) in the establishment of Bristol City Leap, a 20 year concession to support the decarbonisation of the City of Bristol by 2030. VHUK’s role is to design, build, finance, operate and maintain low carbon heat networks across the city, providing competitively priced, low carbon heat to communities and businesses and delivering on an ambitious growth plan. VHUK will acquire the existing district heating assets constructed by the Council as part of setting up City Leap, and these will form the seed assets from which to expand the heat network into new areas. The assets will be held within a wholly owned SPV as a subsidiary of VHUK, known as Bristol Heat Networks Limited (BHNL). The BHNL board of Directors is composed of VHUK senior representatives. BHNL has no employees, with all services provided by VHUK under a Management Services Agreement.

VHUK are looking to appoint a new member to the BHNL Heat Network Advisory Panel (HNAP), a group of industry experts to provide market, community and industry insights related to the development of heat networks in Bristol, ensuring alignment with Bristol City Leap strategic goals, providing ‘critical friend’ support and challenge as well as championing the development of heat networks across Bristol. The HNAP is a requirement under the City Leap Concession Agreement and is part of the broader governance structure for Bristol City Leap, and minutes of meetings will be shared with the Council as part of their monitoring and reporting processes for the overall progress of the programme. The HNAP does not have executive decision-making powers and exists to provide independent counsel only.

One of the three members will have a specific mandate to represent the vibrant Community Energy sector in Bristol, and will be approved by the Council as part of this broader recruitment process. This individual should be able to demonstrate an established and active presence within a relevant Bristolian community energy group(s), an understanding of local energy organisations, and the broader opportunities, models and challenges of successfully engaging with and funding Community Energy groups and projects.

The panel members will work together to deliver on the HNAP objectives, and consider a range of areas where it can provide input and advice to BHNL in developing the heat network opportunities and in discharging its obligations relating to Heat Networks, including:
Key Responsibilities/Duties:

- Progress of the Heat Network build out against the Heat Network Plan included in the City Leap business plan.
- Provide an independent view on proposals made by VHUK on behalf of BHNL regarding the growth, maintenance and operation of the heat network assets.
- Performance against Heat Network KPIs included in the Concession Agreement and the Heat Decarbonisation Plan which sets out the route to decarbonise the heat network by 2030.
- Provide feedback and ideas to enhance Heat Network project proposals in terms of additional input that could be provided by the Community Energy Groups.
- Propose projects that could be included in the Heat Networks Plan that may be developed or owned by the Community or which could benefit from the Community Energy Development Fund that will be established by Vattenfall and Ameresco as part of City Leap.
- Provision of feedback and commentary on the local community’s perception and view on the way the Heat Network is being delivered and operated.
- Suggest opportunities for innovation in the development of the heat network.
- Take part in and or create opportunities to promote the Bristol Heat Network with key public and private stakeholders.
- Input into development of policy positions related to the Bristol Heat Network at a local, regional or national scale.
