15 /85 50 / 50 85 / 15

VISION 638 1 • To provide reliable g CO2 /kWh

energy without CO2

STRATEGY 320

g CO2 /kWh • Eliminate 50% of CO2- emission per kWh before 2020

• Eliminate 85% of CO2- emission per kWh 100 before 2040 g CO2 /kWh

2006 2020 2040

1) 2006 total heat and power production 28,5 TWh eleq/ CO2- emissions 18,2 mt = 638 g CO2/kWh

4 Overview of operational offshore wind farms developed and constructed by DONG Energy

DONG Energy has pioneered offshore wind and has more than 30 years of experience within , and more than 15 years of experience in developing, constructing and operating offshore wind farms

By the end of 2009, DONG Energy had constructed ~ 1,000 MW offshore wind capacity including Horns Rev 2 the world’s largest offshore wind farm to date and operated ~ 750 MW offshore capacity Figures represent DONG Energy's share of the projects Source: DONG Energy Power

ƒ Planning Act 2008, >100MW – Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) ƒ Development Consent Order (DCO) ƒ Offshore and onshore part of project (onshore works "associated development")*

ƒ Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) – EC Directive 85/337/EEC – as amended by Directive 97/11/EC (EIA Directive), Annex II ƒ Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations (2009) – statutory process and min requirements for adequate environmental information ƒ EIA process include assessment of EU bird and habitat regulations etc.

ƒ Complex development and flexibility is required (site specific surveys during the development process)

ƒ "Rochdale Envelope"
