  • The Renewable Energy Review May 2011
    The Renewable Energy Review May 2011 Preface The Committee on Climate Change (the Committee) is an independent statutory body which was established under the Climate Change Act (2008) to advise UK and devolved administration governments on setting and meeting carbon budgets, and preparing for climate change. Setting carbon budgets In December 2008 we published our first report, Building a low-carbon economy – the UK’s contribution to tackling climate change, containing our advice on the level of the first three carbon budgets and the 2050 target; this advice was accepted by the Government and legislated by Parliament. In December 2010, we set out our advice on the fourth carbon budget, covering the period 2023-27, as required under Section 4 of the Climate Change Act; the Government will propose draft legislation for the fourth budget in Spring of 2011. We will provide advice on inclusion of international aviation and shipping in carbon budgets in Spring 2012, drawing on analysis of shipping emissions and a bioenergy review to be published later in 2011. Progress meeting carbon budgets The Climate Change Act requires that we report annually to Parliament on progress meeting carbon budgets; to date we have published two progress reports (October 2009, June 2010) and will publish our third report in June 2011. Advice requested by Government We provide ad hoc advice in response to requests by the Government and the devolved administrations. Under a process set out in the Climate Change Act, we have advised on reducing UK aviation emissions, Scottish emissions reduction targets, UK support for low-carbon technology innovation, and design of the Carbon Reduction Commitment.

The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

It is published to provide further information on how the conclusions in the summary report were reached February 2012 URN:11D/954 Foreword by the Joint Chairs of the Electricity Networks Strategy Group We welcome this report (“2012 ENSG Report”) as a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussions about how to develop our electricity infrastructure in order to address the challenges facing the sector, namely: the decarbonisation of electricity generation, including meeting the Governments’ 2020 renewables targets; maintaining security of supply; and managing the costs of the network. The 2012 ENSG Report sets out an updated view of how the electricity transmission system might need to be reinforced to facilitate the achievement of the Government’s 2020 renewables targets. It presents, in one accessible resource, the updated views of the three onshore electricity Transmission Owners 1, as developed with input from the ENSG Working Group . It is accompanied by a summary document2. It updates a report published in July 2009 entitled “Our Electricity Transmission Network: A Vision for 2020 Full Report” (“2009 ENSG Report”) which provided supporting data for a Summary report published in March 2009. The 2012 ENSG Report is part of an ongoing process. In 2008, following the Transmission Access Review, the Government and Ofgem recognised that the potentially long lead times for expanding transmission capacity could impact upon meeting the 2020 renewables target.

Sir, In -transmitting our Report on the subject of electricity, we desire to draw your attention to two points which we consider of importance, but which we think can be better dealt with in a letter than In the body of the Report. (1) An essential preliminary to the construction of the "gridiron" will be the making of a complete eleotrical survey of the whole area, which we are advised will take some six months, As the "gridiron" organisation cannot be formed prior to legislation, and we understand that the Electricity Commissioners cannot spare the staff to carry out thie important work, it follows that there must be a delay of some months after the necessary legislation has been passed before the constructlon­ al work on the "gridiron" can be commenced.- We have considered whether it would be possible or expedient to avoid the loss of this time.

CORRECTIONS, GLITCHES, ERRORS and OMISSIONS are kept to a minimum but may still inevitably occur in a work of this nature. If you spot anything that you think needs attention, PLEASE DO SEND details of this to us ideally by email addressed to v.bradley[at]virgin.net www.irsociety.co.uk IRRNDX20.doc updated 22-Mar-2008 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the sixteen separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of some 45 years by a number of different people each using different technologies. Only in recent times have computers been used for indexing but, even for these, the computer files could not be traced with the exception of those for volumes 14 to 16. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 13 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project appeared out of the E-mail Group Internet Chat Site which is hosted by the IRS, and a special thankyou is certainly due to Richard Bowen, David Kitching, Martin Murray, Ken Scanes and John Scotford who each handled OCR and proofing of several indexes, to complete digital recovery of the individual published index texts for Volumes 1 to 13.
