These include: i) Under section 36, 36a and 37 of the Electricity Act 1989 to construct and operate a 93 MW offshore electricity generating station at the Ormonde South Gas Field location and to subsequently relocate the facility to the Ormonde North Gas Field. ii) Under Part 1 of the Petroleum Act 1978 for a Field Development Programme for the Ormonde South and Ormonde North Gas fields. These to be worked sequentially commencing with the Ormonde South Gas Field. iii) Under Section 14 of the Energy Act 1976 approval to establish a power station to be fuelled by natural gas. iv) Under Section 36, 36a and 37 of the Electricity Act 1989 to construct and operate a 108 MW [installed capacity] offshore windfarm, constrained to a 99.9 MW maximum output at Ormo nde West located between the Ormonde South and Ormonde North Gas Fields.

  • Distribution and Behaviour of Common Scoter Melanitta Nigra
    Ibis (2006), 148, 110–128 DistributionBlackwell Publishing Ltd and behaviour of Common Scoter Melanitta nigra relative to prey resources and environmental parameters M. J. KAISER,1* M. GALANIDI,1 D. A. SHOWLER,2 A. J. ELLIOTT,1 R. W. G. CALDOW,3 E. I. S. REES,1 R. A. STILLMAN3 & W. J. SUTHERLAND2 1School of Ocean Sciences, University of Wales – Bangor, Menai Bridge, Anglesey, Wales, UK; 2School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK; 3Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Winfrith, Dorset, UK. Offshore wind farms are proposed around the coast of the UK and elsewhere in Europe. These sites tend to be located in shallow coastal waters that often coincide with areas used by over-wintering Common Scoter Melanitta nigra. A large-scale study was undertaken to ascertain the relationship of the spatial distribution of Common Scoter in Liverpool Bay with prey abundance and environmental and anthropogenic variables that may affect foraging efficiency. The highest numbers of Common Scoter coincided with sites that had a high abundance and biomass of bivalve prey species. There was strong evidence that the maximum observed biomass of bivalves occurred at a mean depth of c. 14 m off the Lancashire coast and at c. 8 m off the north Wales coast. This coincided well with the distribution of Common Scoter at Shell Flat, but less well with the distribution of birds off North Wales. Common Scoters were observed in lowest numbers or were absent from areas in which anthropogenic disturbance (shipping activity) was relatively intense, even when these areas held a high prey biomass.
