    Turitea wind farm Community Liaison Group 10 February 2021 MARGARET KOUVELIS welcomed everyone to the meeting, noting it was being held at a new time (5pm) and the intention to hold meeting to one hour. She noted that everyone should have signed in using the Golf Club’s QR poster downstairs, and handed over to Dennis Radich. Present from Mercury: Dennis Radich (Project Director), John Campbell (Project Manager), Duncan Annandale (Property Manager), Mark Henry (Environmental Resources Manager), Katy Scoullar (Communications Manager). From Vestas: Kenn Wood (Project Manager) HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THESE MEETINGS? We’ve been looking at what these meetings are for, and whether we achieve that • Length of meetings • What we use the time to talk about • Room hire and catering 2 MEETING FORMAT RE-SET DENNIS said that it is now a logical time to review this meeting format as in May it will be 2 years since our first meeting, and major construction work on the transmission line is largely complete. We wanted to know how we could improve the way we hold these meetings to make them more useful and valuable. Attendance from people in the community has dwindled. Take away the project and contrator teams and there’s actually a very small number who attend. We used our email mailing list to seek feedback on the meeting format, along with the other ways we share information with the community. Our conclusions are that these meetings are too long, we hire a room too big for what we need and because the meetings are so long we need sustenance.

  • Decentralized Energy Master Planning
    Decentralized Energy Master Planning The London Borough of Brent An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by Anthony Aldi Karen Anundson Andrew Bigelow Andrew Capulli Sponsoring Agency London Borough of Brent Planning Service Advisors Dominic Golding Ruth Smith Liaison Joyce Ip 29 April 2010 This report represents the work of four WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract The London Borough of Brent aims to reduce its carbon emissions via implementation of decentralized energy schemes including combined heat and power systems. The objective of this project was to aid Brent in the early stages of its decentralized energy master planning. By examining policies of other boroughs and studying major development areas within Brent, the WPI project team has concluded that the council must actively facilitate the development of decentralized energy systems through the use of existing practices and development of well supported policies. i Authorship Page This report was developed through a collaborative effort by the project team: Anthony Aldi, Karen Anundson, Andrew Bigelow, and Andrew Capulli. All sections were developed as team with each member contributing equally. ii Acknowledgements The team would like to thank our advisors from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Professor Dominic Golding and Professor Ruth Smith. The team would also like to thank the liaison Joyce Ip from the London Borough of Brent Planning Service and the entire Planning Service.

  • Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
    Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted.

  • Vestas to Strengthen Mercury's Renewable Portfolio by Delivering Its
    Page 1 of 2 News release from Asia Pacific Singapore, 29 March 2019 Vestas to strengthen Mercury’s renewable portfolio by delivering its first wind asset New Zealand-based electricity generator and retailer Mercury has signed an engineering, procurement and construction contract with Vestas for the 119 MW Turitea Wind Farm. The project will be Mercury’s first wind asset globally, adding a new source of renewable generation to its current hydro and geothermal renewable portfolio. The Turitea Wind Farm is situated at Turitea, near Palmerston North, and enjoys world-class wind resources. Its 33 Vestas V112-3.45 MW turbines will be delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode and have a hub height of 69 metres, designed specifically for the site, which will maximise annual energy production and deliver one of the world’s highest generation outputs per turbine. “New Zealand has outstanding wind resources, and we look forward to capturing some of this potential in the Turitea wind farm project”, said Mercury Chief Executive Fraser Whineray. “Mercury is 100 percent committed to renewable energy, and we share a vision of energy freedom with our customers, their communities and our country. We are proud to add another renewable resource to our portfolio through a contract that leverages Vestas’ global experience and wind turbine technology”. “We are proud that Mercury has selected Vestas as its supplier for its first wind project, and we look forward to continuing this relationship as Mercury expands its portfolio,” said Peter Cowling, Head of Vestas Australia and New Zealand. “With our rich wind asset management experience, strong Palmerston North presence and the latest in turbine technology, we will capture the full potential of these wind resources, driving down the cost of energy and delivering commercial value for our customer”.
