Experts have revealed that London is suffering from a power and energy crisis that will need a Government investment of £200billion to solve.

18% of all commercial business centres in the UK face closure as a new government initiative is set to hit in April 2018. The protocol is to ban the leasing of energy-inefficient properties across the capital if they do not comply with sufficient Energy Performance Certificates (EPC).

Worrying statistics reveal that there is only 2.5% of surplus power available in London at any given time. In fact, Central London’s power network is so stretched that future redevelopment schemes may be cancelled, and the Capital’s lights could go out completely within the decade.   

Even developments that have an BREEAM rating of ‘excellent’, or a EPC Class A rating may not be as ‘green’ as property owners first thought. It all depends on the occupiers and tenants, especially those within shared offices and the technology sectors, who consume large amounts of energy and power every day.

Property owners may be forced to spend hundreds of millions of pounds on ‘green’ refurbishments across 600,000 business centres across the UK. 681,000 privately rented residential homes are also falling short of EPC standards which should be between A and E on the scale. This means commercial and private properties that have an F or G rating will be outlawed.

Power demand has been steadily growing by 80% every 5-7 years, and in some areas including the Docklands, this statistic is even higher, at 90%. The area of London that consumes the most power, however, is the City of London, which is predicted to be 300Mw per square kilometre by 2015.

Singular buildings, including the new ‘Cheesegrater’ skyscraper in the Square Mile demands 15Mw annually, which is enough to supply 15,000 homes.

Even more alarmingly, 30% of UK power stations are set to close by 2020. At the same time, the power forecast is set to drop by 19% in 2016, with demand increasing by 15% – meaning there is a 4% demand and supply imbalance. This is where the £200billion is needed to support the infrastructure and cope with the new demand.

In 2010, energy rates saw an increase in 19.9% which was certainly felt by most of property owners in the UK. Now, with the future looking even more bleak, these rates are set to rise even higher, meaning some tenants simply wont be able to afford office space in the capital. Many operators are already relocating from the UK in search of more eco-friendly space and cheaper energy costs.

However, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Ofgem are putting together a proposal to be outlined in 2012. The notion is to split business tariffs from consumer tariffs, which will prevent residents forking out rates to cover power hungry buildings such as the ‘Cheesegrater’ and ‘The Shard’.

Furthermore, David Goatman, head of sustainability at Knight Frank said the crisis is “on the horizon, but far enough away to do something about it. I can see people trying to sell a large number of properties before 2018 at a discount”.

It’s hoped that government will take heed of this new research and invest the full amount to help save London’s lights from going out. There is time, but is there enough in the budget?

It has today been reported that office space in London’s Square Mile has hit a record low, and will most likely stay that way until the city’s two landmark skyscrapers are completed in 2014.

The Leadenhall Building, also known as ‘The Cheesegrater’, and 20 Fenchurch Street, nicknamed ‘The Walkie Talkie’, will be some of the only providers of new office space within the Square Mile. The only other plans include 443,000sqft of space, which is the lowest amount in 27 years.

The reasons behind this lack of new office space is thought to be attributed to the collapse of Lehman Brothers’ and the credit crunch that followed, meaning that funding for new developments had to be switched off almost instantly.

The lack of funding means that new office space schemes will be put on hold. Attention will be turned to refurbishment rather than new buildings, with the Cheesegrater and the Walkie Talkie being the last skyscrapers planned in the Square Mile.

Matthew Elliot, head of the City office at Drivers Jonas Deloitte told the times, “Until the two towers arrive in mid-2014, we will have the lowest supply of new space the City has ever seen. This normally leads to rising rents, but only if there are tenants to take it and there’s a lot of caution at the moment”.

Reports suggest that although the office market in the Square Mile is struggling, the West End market is far more resilient, with 2.3million square foot of office space under construction, which is up by 12% in the last six months.

Anthony Duggan, head of research at the commercial property consultancy added that, “given the weakening economic environment … The answer, as always, will depend on location and size of the schemes being delivered. The comfort for developers will be [that] the total volume of delivery still remains some way behind long-term levels”.

As long as demand for office space remains high, the Square Mile may be able to recover completely, however, with competition from the West End, and up and coming hot spots, such as Kings Cross, it may be an uphill struggle for some time.

Last week, CBRE announced that the Aberdeen office market was outperforming all other Scottish cities, exceeding its level of uptake from 2009 and 2010. 

Office space availability in Aberdeen currently sits at 761,631 square feet, with the majority of space being in the second hand market (although still quality space). Grade A business centres and newly renovated office space accounts for just 17% of the total space available.

In Glasgow, take-up of office space reached 91,670sqft in the third quarter of 2011, which is up by 58%. However, the total number of office space take-up remains highly similar to the 2010 figures. Significant office space deals in Glasgow include Mercer renting 33,551sqft at G1, and Barclay’s Bank renting 20,346sqft at Tay House.

Office space take-up in Edinburgh’s third quarter reached 103,717, which is down by 53%compared to the second quarter when take-up soared at 202,000sqft. This means that Edinburgh’s total office space take-up only reached 437,850, when compared to the average 505,000sqft.

The amount of available office space in Edinburgh has also risen by 15%, as tenants opt to rent office space in areas such as Aberdeen. It is thought that rental rates in this Scottish city have remained low, whilst office space packages and incentives have increased in quality, thus attracting more businesses to the Aberdeen area.
