Gridline P01 Autumnõ03 to SP GridLine Newsletter for National Grid Company grantors Autumn 2003 Minister starts tree tag drive ATURE Conservation Minister Ben N Bradshaw has launched a National Grid Transco/Tree Council campaign to protect hedge trees. The aim is to ensure there is no net loss of hedgerow trees in the UK, helping to meet one of the National Biodiversity Action Plan targets. Tagging saplings is the first stage of the campaign — making them more visible so that anyone cutting hedges knows to avoid them. The modern practice of flailing hedges every year with mechanical cutters means that saplings normally get trimmed back, along with the hedge, giving them no chance to grow into trees. And National Grid grantors are being encouraged to help. “Anyone who wants to get involved simply has to get in touch with our wayleaves team, who will supply the brightly-coloured tags,” said NGT community relations manager Sean Regan. “Safety is the company’s highest priority and an important part of our maintenance programme is to manage the growth of trees near high-voltage overhead lines, helping to protect the public and the network by maintaining Tagging an ash tree… Nature Conservation Minister Ben Bradshaw, centre, with Tree Council statutory safety clearance,” said Sean. chairman Caroline Davies and Gareth Llewellyn, group head of safety, environment and “That, along with our environmental corporate responsibility for National Grid Transco commitment, is why we are delighted to The leaflet emphasises the importance is then up to the farmers and landowners support the hedge tree campaign.” of seeking permission from farmers and to make sure the hedge-cutter operators Tags, and a tagging tips leaflet, are landowners before any tree tagging. leave tagged saplings to grow into also available from The Tree Council. “We want volunteers to get in touch mature trees.” The scheme was launched at an with farmers and landowners and offer to To obtain free hedge tags (while stocks Oxfordshire farm.

    MODELLINGRENEWABLEENERGYRESOURCEAND THE ELECTRICITY NETWORK (EAST MIDLANDS REGION) ReportNumber:K^L/00297/REP DTI/Pub URN 02/1562 Contractor Power Technology, Powergen Prepared by P A Newton and T Ma The work described in this report was carried out under contract as part of the DTI Renewable Energy Programme. The views andjudgements expressed in this report are those of the contractor and do not necessarily reflect those of the DTI. First Published 2002 © Crown Copyright EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction This study examines the capability of the electricity distribution network in the East Midlands to accept embedded generation, against the background of a UK policy to encourage growth in CHP and renewable generation schemes. Embedded generation is generation that is directly connected to distribution networks rather than to the transmission system. The UK policy aims to improve the diversity, security and sustainability of energy supplies and to contain the effects of energy supply on the global environment. Hence, the Government has set the following targets relating to energy supply and use: • Reduce the UK’s CO2 emissions by 20% below 1990 levels by 2010; • Increase energy efficiency in domestic housing by 30% over a ten year period; • Increase installed capacity of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) from 4GW to 10GW by 2010; • Meet 5% of electricity requirements from renewable energy sources by 2003, rising to 10% by 2010. The targets for CHP and renewable generation schemes will result in a significant growth in embedded generation. This is predicted to comprise a large number of generation projects ranging in size from small photovoltaic and domestic CHP schemes of a few kilowatts and less, up to large industrial CHP schemes and wind farms of over 100MW.

So are mine. I joined the Co-op Party when I saw the benefits that mutual support and collectivism could bring in the modern world. I was working with a football task force set up by the Labour Government to stop unscrupulous directors from asset-stripping clubs and taking them away from their communities and fans. Northampton Town found a new way of owning a club through a supporters’ trust, where fans ran the club through a democratic forum. It was obvious that this new mutualism was the way forward. On the recommendation of the Football Task Force, working with former Culture Secretary Chris Smith, we set up Supporters Direct to promote fan ownership of clubs. The idea blossomed. The number of supporters’ trusts exploded. But for me, the importance of that was not just that many football clubs were saved. It was that the Co-operative ideal, the belief in mutualism, was brought to a new, younger generation of people, who had never heard of co-operatives before. That is the way I want a Labour Party I lead and the Co-operative Party to work together.

  • Grave Concern About US Plan for Israeli-Palestinian Conflict”
    Statement by 50 former European leaders: “Grave concern about US plan for Israeli-Palestinian conflict” As Europeans dedicated to promoting international law, peace and security worldwide, we express our deep concern about President Trump’s Middle East plan, titled “Peace to Prosperity”. The plan contradicts internationally agreed parameters for the Middle East peace process, relevant UN resolutions, including Security Council Resolution 2334, and the most fundamental principles of international law. Instead of promoting peace, it risks fuelling the conflict – at the expense of Israeli and Palestinian civilians alike and with grave implications for Jordan and the wider region. It has been met with widespread opposition in the region, in Europe and in the United States. The plan allows for annexation of large and vital parts of the occupied Palestinian territory and legitimises and encourages illegal Israeli settlement activity. It recognises only one side’s claims to Jerusalem and offers no just solution to the issue of Palestinian refugees. It projects a future Palestinian “state” without control and sovereignty over its fragmented territory. The map featured in the plan proposes Palestinian enclaves under permanent Israeli military control, which evoke chilling associations with South Africa’s bantustans. ​ ​ “Peace to Prosperity” is not a roadmap to a viable two-state solution, nor to any other legitimate solution to the conflict. The plan envisages a formalisation of the current reality in the occupied Palestinian territory, in which two peoples are living side by side without equal rights. Such an outcome has characteristics similar to apartheid – a term we don’t use lightly. The international community, particularly the European Union, must prevent such a scenario from unfolding, in order to preserve the dignity and rights of the Palestinians, the future of Israeli democracy and the wider international rules-based order.

  • Annex D Major Events in the Energy Industry
    Annex D Major events in the Energy Industry 2020 Electricity In July 2020 construction work commenced on what is set to be the world’s longest electricity interconnector, linking the UK’s power system with Denmark. Due for completion in 2023, the 765-kilometre ‘Viking Link’ cable will stretch from Lincolnshire to South Jutland in Denmark. In July 2020 approval was granted for the Vanguard offshore wind farm in Norfolk. The 1.8GW facility consisting of up to 180 turbines will generate enough electricity to power 1.95 million homes. In May 2020 approval was granted for Britain’s largest ever solar farm at Cleve Hill, near Whitstable in Kent. The 350MW facility, comprising of 800.000 solar panels, will begin operation in 2022 and will provide power to around 91,000 homes. Energy Prices In February 2020 the energy price cap was reduced by £17 to £1,162 per year, from 1 April for the six-month “summer” price cap period. 2019 Climate Change The Government laid draft legislation in Parliament in early June 2019 to end the UK’s contribution to climate change, by changing the UK’s legally binding long-term emissions reduction target to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The new target is based on advice from the government’s independent advisors, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC). The legislation was signed into law in late June 2019, following approval by the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Energy Policy A joint government-industry Offshore Wind Sector Deal was announced in March 2019, which will lead to clean, green offshore wind providing more than 30% of British electricity by 2030.
