Agenda Mark Williams â mawilliams@deloitte.co.uk
⢠Mark leads a dedicated team of managers who specialise in the
The Public Sector landscape for the Green Agenda financial implications (accounting, budgeting and classification) for
Central Government, Local Government and NHS Bodies of
complex projects. Over the last 10 years he has worked on more
Measurement and Drivers than 300 Public Sector projects, including many Public Private
Partnership (PPP) arrangements.
⢠Given Markâs experience around financial reporting, budgeting
Strategy, Implementation and Improvement and project structuring he is increasingly involved in advising
clients with respect to the CRC energy efficiency scheme,
sustainability reporting requirements and the broader Green
Financing Solutions â âspend to saveâ Agenda in the Public Sector. He has already worked on a number
of green infrastructure projects and sees direct parallels with the
PPP arrangements used for the development of social
Green Deal Operating Model infrastructure.

3. Public sector landscape for the green agenda
Sustainability and the wider green agenda continues to be a focus for government
departments and other public bodies in transitioning the UK to a low carbon economy.
The government have:
⢠Implemented policies to which public sector bodies must adhere:
Sustainability reporting (FReM) regulation
CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme introduced in April 2010
Committed to10% cut in emissions for central governments in FY11
Carbon neutral ICT by 2015/2020
Life time costing
⢠Pledged to support green initiatives
Green investment bank (to address market failures and investment barriers for financing
of low carbon infrastructure)
Green deal finance (to address retrofit of low carbon measures in property)
New sources of funding for climate change adaption and mitigation
⢠Highlighted sustainability as a necessity in order to meet the needs of the public sector
on a tightened budget. The Green Agenda should, if considered strategically lead to cost
reduction. The counterfactual may not true.

14. Precedent - Funding of Waste Infrastructure
⢠Waste infrastructure is an interesting precedent because, akin to new green technologies, there is
significant construction and technology risk. Also, many waste infrastructure deals have encountered
issues with respect to planning control.
⢠With waste infrastructure projects once the construction has been successfully completed and the
technology has been proved, because the demand and available risks are more certain, the overall
risk is significantly reduced.
⢠The diagram shows the money in, nature of the entity, money out and where the return is gained
from.
⢠Split between high risk waste infrastructure projects (i.e. unproven construction and/or technology)
and high liquidity waste infrastructure projects where significant amounts of private finance are
required.
⢠The money in for high risk projects is principally government grants, whereas for high liquidity projects
is private finance.
⢠For the high risk projects there is a significantly great need for government underwriting and/or
guarantees or to provide finance through a public sector entity. However, for the high liquidity projects
it is private sector entities, both corporate and SPVs.
⢠The money out is spent on waste infrastructure investment under a PPP structure.

15. Precedent - Funding of Waste Infrastructure
⢠The return paid on the infrastructure investment is based on a service concession guarantee. This
service concession guarantee means a fee will be paid by a public sector body provided that the
infrastructure is available, performing and subject to certain volume adjustments.
⢠We have also seen the development of merchant schemes where there is no guaranteed fee paid by
a public sector body, the return paid on the infrastructure investment is based purely on volume
related payments.
⢠As with other PPP investments we have seen the development of a secondary market, where
investors are able to recycle their finance in the manner described above as projects are de-risked.
⢠We believe that the funding of waste infrastructure over the last decade through different forms of
PPP and Merchant structures provides a direct parallel with the funding of new green technologies.
⢠Circa £2billion of PFI credits has been awarded to local government waste projects at various stages
of maturity to date. The level of PFI credits generally aligns to the capital value, hence the models
described in the diagram have leveraged at least ÂŁ2billion of private finance into this sector.
