The Cumbria Renewable Energy Capacity and Deployment Study (2011)	The Cumbria Renewable Energy Capacity and Deployment Study has been produced to provide a renewable energy evidence base for Cumbria’s new Local Plan. The study covers the whole of Cumbria and provides a comprehensive evidence base for developing appropriate and robust local planning arrangements with regard to renewable energy. It is a technical study only and does not constitute policy for any of the Cumbrian Local Planning Authorities. The work was undertaken by SQW and Land Use Consultants and was overseen by a Steering Group consisting of representatives from Cumbria County Council and Cumbrian Local Authorities. It provides the evidence to support Renewable Energy Policies within the Local Planning Authorities new Local Plan. This study has involved a detailed and localised assessment of the amount of resources available that could be used to generate renewable energy up to 2030 – in other words the overall potential technical capacity (expressed in MW). The resources and technologies investigated include wind, biomass, energy from waste, hydropower, solar and heat pumps. In recognition of the high environmental quality in Cumbria, specific research was undertaken into capacity within Protected Landscapes.	August 2011	Yes
