    Management Report of RWE Innogy GmbH for the Period Ended 31 December 2012 Review of Operations 1. Business and economic environment 1.1. Object of the company and positioning within the RWE Group's structure RWE Innogy GmbH ("RWE Innogy" or "Company") is a subsidiary wholly owned by RWE Aktiengesellschaft (RWE AG) which pools the expertise of the RWE Group's power plants in the field of renewables. To this end, the Company holds approximately 60 investments in Germany, the rest of Europe and the USA, in particular including RWE Innogy Windpower Hannover GmbH (Germany), RWE Innogy (UK) Ltd. (UK), RWE Renewables Polska Sp. z o.o. (Poland), RWE Innogy Italia S.p.A. (Italy), Georgia Biomass Holding LLC (USA) and RWE Innogy AERSA S.A.U. (Spain), which operate as management companies in their respective countries. In order to achieve the prescribed goal of increasing the share of the RWE Group's electricity generation capacity accounted for by renewables, RWE Innogy and its joint ventures plan, build and operate plants which produce electricity primarily from renewables in Germany and the rest of Europe. One of the focal points of these activities are onshore and offshore wind farm projects. However, the Company is also active in the fields of hydroelectric power and biomass. Furthermore, it provides assistance in developing forward-looking technologies. For instance, RWE Innogy plans and operates biogas facilities as well as solar power stations either directly or via its joint ventures while providing support to innovative enterprises in their startup and growth phases via a venture capital firm.

  • 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.

It is the work of officers and has not been formally considered by any authority. It therefore does not represent the views of any authority or other body. Comments on the paper are welcome and can be forwarded to [email protected] or [email protected]. Executive Summary Page 1 of 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The review comprises: 1. The working paper drafted in March 2006 and finalised in April 2006 2. The assessment paper drafted in July 2006 and finalised in August 2006 3. The implications paper produced in August 2006 The review is the work of officers and has not been formally considered by any authority. The findings of the review have been considered in the formulation of the draft 3 Cities SRS and the draft Northern SRS which will form part of the Regional Plan to be published on 28 September 2006 and tested at a public examination in 2007. A project plan produced and agreed in December 2005 and added to in April 2006 have guided the review work. The review has started from the point that the principle of the green belt is well established and will remain. However, the review is related to the needs of development in the areas where there is green belt at present. General areas for possible extensions to the green belt have also been considered. The government's sustainable communities plan requires that the current area of green belt land within each region should be maintained or increased.

  • 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

  • Facts & Figures
    RWE INNOGY FACTS & FIGURES – OFFSHORE WIND & GWYNT Y MÔR OFFSHORE WIND FARM Strong growth off the coast RWE Innogy is a market leader in the development, construction and operation of offshore wind farms in Europe. We have already gained significant experience through the delivery and operation of our existing wind farms – North Hoyle and Rhyl Flats off the Welsh coast, and Thornton Bank off the Belgian coast. Our first German project – Nordsee Ost – is due to start construction next year, some 22 miles off the island of Helgoland. In addition, we aim to be using our own construction vessels from 2011 onwards. RWE Innogy has major plans for the future for offshore development and for helping tackle climate change through its pipeline offshore wind portfolio .
