Who Is Forewind?
Who is Forewind? Forewind is a joint venture consortium comprising four leading international energy companies which have joined forces to bid for Zone Development Agreements as part of The Crown Estate’s third licence round for UK offshore wind farms (Round 3). The four partners are: Scottish and Southern Statoil - a world leading Statkraft - Europe’s RWE npower renewables Energy Plc, one of the offshore oil and gas largest generator of the UK subsidiary of largest energy companies operator renewable energy Pan-European renewable in the UK. energy company RWE Innogy Each of the Forewind partners has a demonstrable long-term strategy and commitment to large-scale renewable energy generation, in particular offshore wind. Round 3 offshore wind Most of The Crown Estate Round 3 Zones are many times larger than any previous wind farm development area anywhere in the world. The zones will require developers with significant resources. Successful bidders for the nine zones will be given exclusive rights to develop wind farms under the terms of a Zone Development Agreement. These development zones will have the potential for the construction of multiple wind farm sites. The realisation of the UK Government’s target of 25GW of offshore wind by 2020 is also heavily dependent on developing solutions to a number of issues such as cumulative impact, grid, consenting processes and supply chain. “ The Crown Estate’s Round 3 offshore wind programme has ambitious targets which will only be achievable with the support and input of strong companies committed to the future of the UK wind industry such as the four partners comprising the Forewind consortium.” Maria McCaffery, CEO, BWEA www.forewind.co.uk | [email protected] Why form a consortium The extraordinary challenges facing Round 3 developers require extraordinary resources and innovative thinking. -

The installation is located adjacent to the Dee Estuary in Shotton, Flintshire. The whole of the Dee Estuary is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and has also been listed as a Ramsar Site, Special Protection Area (SPA) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The principle activity at the installation is Section 6.1 Part (A)1, specifically the production of newsprint from recycled fibre. The installation also includes two gas/oil fired boilers, an Industrial Emissions Directive Chapter IV compliant boiler and an Effluent Treatment Plant to treat liquid effluent. In addition there are two waste operations, a Dry Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) with a capacity to sort 300,000 tonnes per year of dry co-mingled recyclates, and a waste wood treatment activity. The boilers stacks are the principle emissions points to air and liquid effluent is treated on site before being discharged to the Dee Estuary, via the White Sands Gutter on the outgoing tide. Raw material for papermaking is recovered paper either delivered directly, or obtained from the on-site MRF. This is stored in a large warehouse on site before being fed into the recycled fibre plant for de-inking and fibre preparation. Newsprint is produced on two paper machines, each with a capacity of over 200,000 tonnes per year, then rolled and cut to size, then wrapped and stored in the despatch warehouse. -

Registered in England No. 02366937 SUMMARY The North Wales Wind Farms Connection Project is a major electrical infrastructure development project, involving several wind farm developers and the local Distribution Network Operator – SP Manweb plc (SP Manweb). The development of on-shore wind generation in Wales is guided by the Welsh Government’s energy strategy, initially published in 2003. In their Technical Advice Note (TAN) 8: renewable energy (2005) the Welsh Government identified 7 Strategic Search Areas (SSAs) as potential locations for wind generation, of which area A is in North Wales. During the past 20 years, approximately 220 MW of wind generation (both onshore and offshore) have been connected to the SP Manweb distribution network in North Wales. Within the TAN 8 SSA A, SP Manweb is currently contracted to connect a further four wind farms[1] which have received planning consent and total 170 MW of generation. SP Manweb has a statutory duty to offer terms to connect new generating stations to its distribution system. -

News Release 14 March 2012 Siemens awards multi-million tower contract to South Wales firm Fifteen towers destined for Mynydd y Betws wind farm project as Mabey Bridge is awarded first contract by the UK’s largest provider of wind turbines Siemens, the leading global engineering and technology company, has announced that it has placed an order with South Wales based Mabey Bridge to manufacture towers for 15, 2.3MW turbines bound for the Mynydd y Betws wind farm in Carmarthenshire. Siemens will supply, transport, install and commission the two-section 63-metre- high, 105 tonne towers for local developer, Cambrian Renewable Energy Limited (CREL), owned by the ESB, Ireland’s main electricity utility company. The wind turbines will have a tip height of 110 metres, and an installed capacity of up to 34.5MW. The project will generate electricity to power approximately 18,250 households, equivalent to almost a quarter of Carmarthenshire. More than two million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions will be saved over the lifetime of the project. The towers will be delivered in summer 2012 and the project is due for completion by February 2013. Originally developed by CREL, a Welsh consortium of Eco2 and local investors, Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm was acquired in June 2010 by ESB. ESB is committed to halving its carbon emissions by 2020 and achieving carbon net-zero emissions Page 1 of 3 by 2035. In addition to Mynydd y Betws, other projects include the Fullabrook Wind Farm in Devon and the West Durham Wind Farm. Commenting on the Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm project a spokesperson from ESB said: "ESB is committed to realising benefits for local communities by developing new green energy sources. -
