  • Decision Document Provides a Record of the Decision Making Process
    Permitting decisions Surrender We have decided to accept the surrender of the permit for Western Bacton Gas Terminal operated by ENI Hewett Ltd. The permit number is EPR/VP3637SB. We are satisfied that the necessary measures have been taken to avoid any pollution risk and to return the site to a satisfactory state. We consider in reaching that decision we have taken into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements. Purpose of this document This decision document provides a record of the decision making process. It summarises the decision making process in the decision checklist to show how all relevant factors have been taken in to account. This decision document provides a record of the decision making process. It: • highlights key issues in the determination • summarises the decision making process in the decision checklist to show how all relevant factors have been taken into account and Unless the decision document specifies otherwise we have accepted the applicant’s proposals. EPR/VP3637SB/S003 Date issued: 23/08/17 1 Key issues of the decision The Site was issued with a Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) permit (Reference VP3637SB) in May 2007 when the Site was owned by Tullow Oil UK Ltd (Tullow). The permit was transferred to ENI Hewett Ltd in November 2008. Following implementation of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2007, the permit became an Environmental Permit (Reference EPR/VP3637SB). The gas refining operations ceased at the Site on 17 August 2011 and some of the activities are now leased and operated by Perenco UK Ltd (Perenco) under their permit.

New projects mean up to 50pc of the UK’s gas could come through Bacton, bonanza in the wind Government plans to dramatically increase the number of offshore wind farms could benefit the environment while sparking a multi-billion-pound bonanza for the region’s energy specialists. East Anglia’s offshore wind energy industry is set to spearhead an energy revolution that could see 7000 wind turbines generating enough electricity to power every home in the UK by 2020. The region is well-placed to cash in on a multi- billion-pound market following the government’s Region has crucial announcement of plans for up to 7000 wind turbines generating a colossal 33 gigawatts of energy. At present just 2pc of our power comes from renewables, and wind is the source for less than 1gw. Yet wind-generated electricity could be powering every home in the UK by 2020 if the proposals unveiled in December come to fruition. The finite nature of fossil fuels and mounting fears role in powering UK over global warming have made it essential that we harness more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources.
