UTILITY WEEK | 21ST - 27Th NOvEmbEr 2014 | 5 Anglian Water will replace Cambridge Water as the supplier to a development of 1,500 homes in Cambridge, under plans being consulted on by Ofwat. The proposal under consultation would grant Anglian Water a fourth "vari- ation" to its appointment as a water and sewerage undertaker by allowing it to supply a site called Northstowe Phase 1 in Cambridge. New appointments and variations include one com- pany replacing another as the appointee for a specific geographic area. Anglian will take a bulk supply of water from Cam- bridge and charge custom- ers based on Cambridge Water's water charges. The regulator has said that Anglian Water will have to offer customers at least the equivalent levels of service to Cambridge Water.

The £17 million, 16-turbine Ngong II windfarm near Nairobi has an installed capacity of 13.6MW and was funded by the Spanish enterprise internationalism fund (FIEM). It will be followed by a second, larger Kinangop windfarm with 38 turbines and an installed capacity of 61MW. The two renewable projects are part of a larger initiative by Iberdrola's subsidiary in Kenya to equip the capital with a reliable modern electricity system, as requested by three Kenyan generation companies. Iberdrola is setting up a new distribution network including a high-voltage network consisting of 15km of new power lines, four 220KV substations and an extension to an important substation. 80% The percentage of homes that will be heated by electricity by 2050, according to Carbon Connect 21 Number of points on the manifesto the Energy and Utilities Alliance presented to Labour leader Ed Miliband this week The "ugly" politics surrounding renewables is "destroying jobs" Energy secretary Ed Davey speaks out at the Renewable UK conference The big six might still dominate the domestic supply market with a 90 per cent market share, but the business energy supply mar- ket is home to a broader range of participants on both the gas and electricity supply side.
