Energy Strategy & Insight


Energy Strategy & Insight

City Science works with partners to co-create clear strategies that simplify complexity and turn ideas into action. Using detailed evidence, award-winning tools and cutting-edge models developed through our mission to decarbonise, City Science can support you to develop robust, engaging strategies that move you forward. Through our extensive experience engaging stakeholders, we ensure a fully participatory and interactive process, brought to life through unique digital tools.​

Local Area Energy Plans​

We provide a data-driven, fully-evidenced, whole system approach to identifying the most effective decarbonisation pathways for your region’s energy system.​

Core Services

  • Assessing energy efficiency and renewable energy potential (such as for Exeter, Uttlesford)​
  • Net Zero strategies, scenarios and action planning (such as for Oxfordshire/England’s Economic Heartland)​
  • Retrofit and heat modelling (such as for OfGem/BEIS)​
  • Electric vehicle strategies (such as for Blackpool)​
  • Hydrogen strategies (such as for Emerald Green Power)​
  • Techno-economic modelling within “hard to decarbonise” sectors (such as for work on freight for the DfT)​

Decarbonisation of Heat​

Using in-house, industry-leading modelling tools, we support a range of analysis, feasibility and strategy in the decarbonisation of heat at a regional level, campus level or at the level of individual properties.​

Core Services

  • Heat Demand and Building Modelling (such as for Uttlesford/BEIS)​
  • District Heat Network feasibility and zoning (such as for OfGem/BEIS)​
  • Retrofit strategies (such as for Cambridgeshire)​
  • Smart Meter Enabled Thermal Efficiency Ratings (such as for BEIS)​
  • Developing strategies for Heat as a Service and decarbonisation of property portfolios (such as for BEIS and Exeter City Council)​
  • Undertaking heat finance modelling and innovative research (such as Heat Pump Ready)
