Construction, A fixed offshore structure required for construction, operation, and operation and maintenance personnel and activities. maintenance platform East Anglia ONE The proposed project consisting of up to 67 wind turbines, up to four offshore North project electrical platforms, up to one construction operation and maintenance platform, inter-array cables, platform link cables, up to one operational meteorological mast, up to two offshore export cables, fibre optic cables, landfall infrastructure, onshore cables and ducts, onshore substation, and National Grid infrastructure. East Anglia ONE The red line boundary in which all wind turbines and ancillary infrastructure North windfarm site will be located. East Anglia Zone The broader area defined for Round 3 applications within which the East Anglia ONE North windfarm site is located together with East Anglia One, East Anglia THREE, East Anglia TWO, Norfolk Boreas and Norfolk Vanguard. European site Sites designated for nature conservation under the Habitats Directive and Birds Directive, as defined in regulation 8 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 and regulation 18 of the Conservation of Offshore Marine Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. These include candidate Special Areas of Conservation, Sites of Community Importance, Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas. Evidence Plan A voluntary consultation process with specialist stakeholders to agree the Process approach to the EIA and information to support HRA. Inter-array cables Offshore cables which link the wind turbines to each other and the offshore electrical platforms. These cables will include fibre optic cables. Landfall Where the offshore cables come ashore, between Sizewell and Leiston. Meteorological mast An offshore structure which contains metrological instruments used for wind data acquisition. Migration free The breeding season for migratory seabird species is defined as a wider breeding season breeding season and a narrower window known as the migration free breeding season. In a given species, the timing of breeding will vary depending on the location of the breeding area; with the start of breeding usually later in more northerly locations. Thus, while birds at some colonies are beginning to nest, others may still be migrating to breeding sites. A core or migration free breeding season is defined as the period when all or the majority of breeding adults of a given species are present at breeding colonies. Natura 2000 site A site forming part of the network of sites made up of Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas designated respectively under the Habitats Directive and Birds Directive. Offshore cable The corridor of sea bed from the East Anglia ONE North windfarm site to the corridor landfall site within which the offshore export cables will be located. 6.1.12 Chapter 12 Offshore Ornithology Page vii East Anglia ONE North Offshore Windfarm Environmental Statement Offshore The East Anglia ONE North windfarm site and offshore cable corridor (up to development area Mean High Water Springs) (described as the ‘order limits‘ within the Development Consent Order). Offshore electrical A fixed structure located within the windfarm area, containing electrical platform equipment to aggregate the power from the wind turbines and convert it into a more suitable form for export to shore. Offshore export The cables which would bring electricity from the offshore electrical platforms cables to the landfall. These cables will include fibre optic cables. Platform link cables An electrical cable which links one or more offshore platforms. These will include fibre optic cables. Safety zones A marine area declared for the purposes of safety around a renewable energy installation or works / construction area under the Energy Act 2004. Scour protection Protective materials to avoid sediment being eroded away from the base of the foundations as a result of the flow of water. 6.1.12 Chapter 12 Offshore Ornithology Page viii East Anglia ONE North Offshore Windfarm Environmental Statement 12 Ornithology 12.1 Introduction 1. This chapter is an assessment of the potential impacts that may arise from the construction, operation and decommissioning of the offshore components of the proposed East Anglia ONE North project. It has been prepared by Royal HaskoningDHV from baseline survey work and data processing undertaken by APEM Ltd and data analyses by MacArthur Green. 2. The chapter describes the offshore components of the proposed project in relation to ornithology; the consultation that has been held with stakeholders; the scope and methodology of the assessment; the avoidance and mitigation measures that have been embedded through project design; the baseline data on birds and important sites and habitats for birds acquired through desk study and surveys and assesses the potential impacts on birds. 3. An ornithological assessment of the export cable landfall and onshore components

  • Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering
    Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering BUSINESS IS 2 Building Offshore Wind in England Ministerial Foreword Offshore wind is a UK success story and the UK is open for business. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind. We have more offshore wind installed than anywhere else in the world. We are an island nation, blessed with strong winds and shallow seas – and this energy resource is on our doorstep. We are determined to move to cleaner electricity generation and offshore wind has an important role to play in our long term plan for a balanced, low carbon energy mix. I want the UK to secure the economic benefits of this new industry. Through our offshore wind industrial strategy, the Government is committed to working in partnership with business to build a competitive, innovative UK supply chain for offshore wind, delivering jobs and economic growth. Building a strong supply chain needs the commitment and expertise of local partners, working alongside central government to support businesses who want to invest here. The Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE) partnership offers an integrated and cooperative approach between Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships in England, to provide the best possible support to businesses choosing England as an investment location. The Rt Hon Matthew Hancock MP Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy CORE brings together the relevant expertise from UK Central Government and the six major investment hubs in England to support business growth and showcase opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) for the offshore wind sector.

    News Release 14 March 2012 Siemens awards multi-million tower contract to South Wales firm Fifteen towers destined for Mynydd y Betws wind farm project as Mabey Bridge is awarded first contract by the UK’s largest provider of wind turbines Siemens, the leading global engineering and technology company, has announced that it has placed an order with South Wales based Mabey Bridge to manufacture towers for 15, 2.3MW turbines bound for the Mynydd y Betws wind farm in Carmarthenshire. Siemens will supply, transport, install and commission the two-section 63-metre- high, 105 tonne towers for local developer, Cambrian Renewable Energy Limited (CREL), owned by the ESB, Ireland’s main electricity utility company. The wind turbines will have a tip height of 110 metres, and an installed capacity of up to 34.5MW. The project will generate electricity to power approximately 18,250 households, equivalent to almost a quarter of Carmarthenshire. More than two million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions will be saved over the lifetime of the project. The towers will be delivered in summer 2012 and the project is due for completion by February 2013. Originally developed by CREL, a Welsh consortium of Eco2 and local investors, Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm was acquired in June 2010 by ESB. ESB is committed to halving its carbon emissions by 2020 and achieving carbon net-zero emissions Page 1 of 3 by 2035. In addition to Mynydd y Betws, other projects include the Fullabrook Wind Farm in Devon and the West Durham Wind Farm. Commenting on the Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm project a spokesperson from ESB said: "ESB is committed to realising benefits for local communities by developing new green energy sources.
