Vestas Wind Systems A/S Copenhagen Stock Exchange Nikolaj Plads 6 DK-1067 Copenhagen K. Ringkøbing, 3 March 2003 Stock Exchange announcement no. 03/2003 Page 1 of 1 Vestas selected as turnkey supplier for another major offshore wind project in the United Kingdom Vestas Wind Systems A/S has via its 100 % owned subsidiary Vestas - Celtic Wind Technology Ltd. been selected to build another major offshore wind farm in the United Kingdom. The turnkey contract has been awarded by Powergen Renewables Offshore Wind Ltd., a 100 % owned subsidiary of Powergen Ltd. The 60 MW project is scheduled for completion in the autumn of 2004, and will be located approximately 3 km. off the East Coast of England at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, on a sandbank known as the Scroby Sands. The location is characterised by relatively shallow water of 4-8 m depth. The contract comprises 30 units Vestas V80-2.0 MW wind turbines, monopile foundations, offshore electrical infrastructure, the Vestas OnLine™ remote monitoring system and a 5- year contract for operation and maintenance of the power plant. Scroby Sands Offshore Wind Farm is the second of 18 similar projects currently planned in the waters around United Kingdom. “The UK market for wind turbines is gaining momentum, and the recently published White Paper from the government predicts a bright future for wind power in the UK”, says Tom K. Pedersen, Managing Director of Vestas – Celtic Wind Technology Ltd. He continues “We are currently building the first major UK offshore wind project North Hoyle wind farm in the Irish Sea off Wales. The installation of the Scroby Sands wind farm will commence immediately after North Hoyle and underlines our competitive position in the offshore sector.” The contract has a value to Vestas of approximately EUR 100 million, and the turbines will be supplied from Vestas’ wind turbine manufacturing facility on Kintyre, Scotland. The above mentioned order does not influence the Vestas Group’s expectations for year 2003, cf. Stock Exchange announcement no. 18/2002 of 26 November 2002.

Specifically this study focuses on understanding changes in sediment dynamics due to renewable energy structures. Three overarching science ideas have emerged where NERC could provide a significant contribution to the knowledge base. Research into these key areas has the potential to help the UK with planning, regulation and monitoring of marine renewable installations in a sustainable way for both stakeholders and the environment. A wide ranging consultation with stakeholders was carried out encompassing regulators, developers, researchers and other marine users with a relevance to marine renewable energy and/or sediment dynamics. Based on this consultation a review of the present state of knowledge has been produced, and a relevant selection of recent and current research projects underway within the UK identified to which future NERC funded research could add value. A great deal of research has already been done by other organisations in relation to the wind sector although significant gaps remain, particularly in long term and far-field effects.

Agenda Item No. 5 Pieter Montyn E.ON Climate & Renewables UK Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport Rampion Offshore Wind Limited Cabinet Office Westwood Way Ground Floor Westwood Business Park County Hall Coventry West Midlands Chichester CV4 8LG West Sussex www.eon-uk.com PO19 1RZ Chris Tomlinson 01273 603 721 3 December 2013 07815 141 008 Dear Mr Montyn, Rampion Offshore Wind Farm Thank you for your letter dated 14 November 2013 seeking clarity on issues regarding the Rampion offshore wind farm. I respond to each issue in turn. 1. Benefits and facilities for local people The overarching benefits of the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm are to create safe, secure, clean energy to help secure our energy supplies and keep the lights on, while tackling climate change through reducing carbon emissions and creating jobs during construction and operation. In addition to these core benefits, our policy is to ensure that we are a good neighbour to the local community, to continue our track record on existing offshore wind farms of working with communities and supporting local projects and education initiatives. To achieve this, we will develop relationships with Sussex communities and consider the potential to provide initiatives through community benefits funds. Our plan to deliver community benefits is intended to support initiatives in those communities associated with the offshore and onshore elements of the Project. The exact geographical scope and distribution of such initiatives need to be very carefully considered in view of the spatial extent of the Project. We intend to consult the wider community through a number of existing communication channels that we established for the Agenda Item No.

Community Benefits from Offshore Renewables: Good Practice Review
Community Benefits from Offshore Renewables: Good Practice Review David Rudolph, Claire Haggett, Mhairi Aitken, University of Edinburgh Executive Summary Overview This project evaluates existing practices in community benefit models for offshore renewables. We identify and evaluate national and international case studies of different community benefit models, and provide evidence of how community benefits are delivered and distributed. In particular we consider the key relationship between how communities are identified, how impact is perceived, and how benefits may therefore be apportioned. We then assess the different mechanisms and schemes of benefit-sharing to identify good practice and key points of learning for Scottish policy and planning. The full report can be found at Community Benefits from Offshore Renewables: Good Practice Review. Key findings Evidence for community benefits from offshore renewables is rare. The UK leads the way in delivering benefits, although this is largely ad hoc, voluntary, and varies between developers. The Scottish Government is alone in explicitly considering distribution of the local and national benefits beyond the delivery of supply chain benefits. The way in which community, benefit and impact are understood are crucial in determining whether or how benefit should be apportioned and delivered; and these definitions are closely connected to each other. We detail in the report the range of ways in which benefits are provided; and find that community funds are the most common approach. ClimateXChange is Scotland’s Centre of Expertise on Climate Change, supporting the Scottish Government’s policy development on climate change mitigation, adaptation and the transition to a low carbon economy. The centre delivers objective, independent, integrated and authoritative evidence in response to clearly specified policy questions.

However, any large construction project will have environmental impacts so it is imperative that they be located and built in an environmentally responsible way. As interest in constructing renewable energy generation facilities in offshore locations increases, regulators need to ensure that adequate measures and controls exist to keep adverse marine environmental impacts to a minimum. Regulators in different countries are facing the same challenges but to date have been progressing on their own with very little exchange of experiences. This has led to duplication of effort and the unintentional withholding of important data sets from the wider scientific community. This workshop of 63 delegates was convened to bring together for the first time regulators, NGOs and other stakeholders with an interest in marine environmental impact assessment from around Europe to share experiences and discuss best practice for offshore renewable technologies. Although it had the broader heading of offshore renewable energy the discussions focussed on wind power as this
