WIND ENERGY PROJECT FINANCING ONSHORE CASE STUDY with Zephir Lidar WIND ENERGY PROJECT FINANCING ONSHORE CASE STUDY with ZephIR Lidar “ZephIR delivers bankable, finance-grade wind data to Banks taking sites forward in a timely, cost effective and safe manner - correlations with a short mast are far better than often found when comparing two cup anemometers.” - REG Windpower world-leading lidar innovation finance-grade, ‘bankable’ wind data sets unparalleled data availability at all heights accurate, proven measurements in all terrains 650+ deployments and 3 million hours operation zephirlidar.com REG WINDPOWER LTD. Established in 1989 as Cornwall Light & Power, REG Windpower develops, builds and owns wind farms. The company now operate eleven wind farms (with a further two in construction) in England & Wales with an additional 900MW+ in development across the UK. In 2009, REG performed a strategic review of their approach to wind monitoring and the question was raised how to monitor wind more rapidly and more cost effectively against anemometry with traditional tall met masts. Zephir + short MAST MethodoLOGY REG implemented a strategy for 16 metre short met masts In 2009, REG purchased three ZephIRs to operate across the coupled with 6 month ZephIR lidar deployments for the rapid company’s entire portfolio of projects. The methodology is to and cost effective measurement of wind quality on potential install the short mast as the long term reference, collecting sites, for the following reasons: at least 12 months data covering seasonal variation. The ZephIR is installed for 6 months next to the mast - 6 months 1.

Zephir features ZephIR measures wind characteristics onshore and on fixed or floating platforms offshore from just 10 metres (33 feet) up to 200 metres (656 feet) from installed position to inform wind regime and quality studies during the development and operation of wind farms onshore and offshore. Independent studies and world-first measurements taken inside a wind tunnel demonstrate the unparalleled level of quality within each system, proven further across more than 3 million hours of operation and over 650 deployments. Key features include low height measurements down to just 10 metres where the most significant changes in wind speed and direction are often found due to terrain effects. SANCTON hiLL WIND farM ZephIR was deployed at Sancton Hill Wind Farm - a correlations between the ZephIR and mast at the 16m moderately simple site - 12 metres away from the mast, height were observed with just 0.9% variation in all situated inside a low-cost agricultural trailer with a sectors overall.

    TRANSITION Meeting Britain’s energy BY needs together CONSENT Cameron Tait p post ABOUT THE FABIAN SOCIETY The Fabian Society is Britain’s oldest political think tank. Since 1884 the society has played a central role in developing political ideas and public policy on the left. It aims to promote greater equality of power and opportunity; the value of collective public action; a vibrant, tolerant and accountable democracy; citizenship, liberty and human rights; sustainable development; and multilateral international co-operation. Through a wide range of publications and events the society influences political and public thinking, but also provides a space for broad and open-minded debate, drawing on an unrivalled external network and its own expert research and analysis. Its programme offers a unique breadth, encompassing national conferences and expert seminars; periodicals, books, reports and digital communications; and commissioned and in-house research and comment. The Society is alone among think tanks in being a democratically-constituted membership organisation, with almost 7,000 members. Over time our membership has included many of the key thinkers on the British left and every Labour prime minister. Today we count over 200 parliamentarians in our number. The voluntary society includes 70 local societies, the Fabian Women’s Network and the Young Fabians, which is itself the leading organisation on the left for young people to debate and influence political ideas. The society was one of the original founders of the Labour party and is constitutionally affiliated to the party. We are however editorially, organisationally and financially independent and work with a wide range of partners from all political persuasions and none.

The homes we live in are responsible for 27% of the UK’s CO2 emissions, and so it is right that attention should focus on how new homes can be designed and constructed to minimise emissions. Since the launch of the first government consultation on zero carbon housing at the end of 2006 I have seen a variety of encouraging initiatives such as the construction of the Barratt Green House on BRE’s Innovation Park in Watford. Builders large and small are increasingly engaging with the challenge of building to world-leading environmental standards. But if we are to implement successfully the zero carbon standard across all new homes built in the UK it is imperative that we have a definition which is realistic, practical and sufficiently flexible to be achievable on all kinds of developments, with all kinds of homes. The government consultation, Definition of zero carbon homes and non-domestic buildings, issued on 17 December 20081 marks a critical stage in our transition towards zero carbon.

  • Community Consultation
    Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Statement of Consultation - Submission October 2012 2 Contents The consultation and involvement process Page 5 Annex 1: Consolidated list of representors 8 Annex 2: Regulation 20 (pre-submission publication) 11 Representations made under Regulation 20 25 (publication consultation, May/July 2012) Annex 4: Regulation 18 (‘Preferred Options’) stage 139 Annex 5: Regulation 18 (‘Issues and Options’) stage 214 Annex 6: Statement of Community Involvement (summary) 235 3 4 The consultation and involvement process The Statement of Community Involvement This was adopted in January 2008, and revised in September of that year to incorporate procedural changes brought in by the 2008 Planning Act. Although the 2008 Act did away with the ‘Issues and Options’ and ‘Preferred Options’ terminology, the former stage had already been set in motion, and it has been considered logical to present the subsequent (2010) consultation as a ‘preferred option’. The SCI sets out a range of consultation and involvement possibilities. In jkeeping with a strategic document, consultation, especially in the later stages, has focused on the methods which the SCI sets out as standard (advertisement of published documents, use of the Council’s web site, and local mass media), along with targeted locality-based meetings – either to invited stakeholder audiences or public ‘drop in’ sessions. The SCI is available on the ldf section of the Council’s web site www.copeland.gov.uk/ldf, and its Executive Summary is at Annex 7 (page ). Early engagement ‘Stakeholder Launch’ events were held in November 2008, one for stakeholders in the Borough and another for external invitees.
