Government provides support to households who install small-scale renewable energy systems through the Feed-in Tariff scheme (FiT), while large scale projects like off-shore wind farms will be supported through new fixed-price Contracts for Difference (CfDs). Medium-sized energy projects between 10-50 Megawatts (MW) are currently slipping through the net, however, being too big to receive FiTs yet too small to take advantage of CfDs. Although it is unlikely that local energy projects will eliminate the need for larger, centralised power stations, with some Government support they could provide a significant proportion of the UK's energy capacity and a range of other advantages. Giving communities a stake in local energy projects has the potential to broaden public understanding of energy issues, encouraging energy-conscious behaviour and greater public engagement in carbon reduction initiatives. Greater use of local energy would also enhance the security and efficiency of the energy system as a whole by increasing the diversity of generating capacity available and reducing the energy lost in transmission or wasted as unused heat. Local energy schemes could also bring direct benefits to local communities, businesses and public organisations like local authorities. Cheaper electricity could be provided to the communities living close to energy projects. Businesses that use “on-site” generation or buy directly from local generators could reduce their energy costs and local authorities could undertake energy projects that tackle fuel poverty, cut costs and reduce carbon emissions. Local energy projects currently face a number of barriers that can prevent them getting off the ground. Securing funding and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), connecting to the grid and overcoming public opposition can all prove difficult. Obtaining planning permission can be costly and time-consuming, and the risk of losing tens of thousands of pounds if permission is not granted is a huge obstacle for community groups or small cooperatives. Larger companies and utilities can shoulder these costs as they may be applying for a number of projects simultaneously and have existing bank debt facilities, but smaller groups do not have access to these benefits and must take considerable risks with no guarantee of recovering expenditure. Some form of support mechanism is needed alongside a comprehensive package of measures addressing finance, planning, grid access and advice. The Government must bring forward a proposal to support schemes within the 10-50MW range to incentivise the development of medium-sized projects which are not served by either FiTs or CfDs. The Green Investment Bank could provide seed funding and project development funding – for feasibility studies, grid permits, etc - to reduce some of the risk in getting projects 4 Local Energy through the planning process. We support the Government’s ambition to return decision-making powers to local authorities, but carbon reduction is a national priority. Government needs to do more to encourage local authorities to identify suitable areas for renewable energy development as recommended in the National Planning Policy Framework. Ministers should also encourage local authorities to develop clear guidance about what is expected from local energy projects, to reduce uncertainty and risk in the planning process. This approach would also help to prevent bad projects from coming forward. National level planning guidance should be provided on technical issues that sometimes hold up planning consent for wind turbines and other low-carbon technologies. This would help to improve consistency between different local authorities and ensure that only genuinely local issues were addressed through the local consenting process. There are strong indications that some level of local ownership can help to boost support and reduce opposition to energy infrastructure projects. If the evidence shows that local ownership does indeed improve acceptability, we recommend that the Government encourages the industry to offer a stake to local residents for all new developments or considers the option of making a community ownership offer mandatory for all new developments. Options for facilitating grid connections for small and medium-sized renewable developments should be assessed, including the arrangements between suppliers and district network operators, in order to ensure “priority access” wherever possible. Finally, the Government should introduce an advice service that can provide support to community groups on issues such as how to finance a project, ownership structure, the planning process, energy technologies, the energy market and the various support mechanisms that are available. Local Energy 5 1 Introduction 1. The Government currently supports small-scale renewables (smaller than 5MW in size) through the Feed-in Tariff scheme (FiT). Larger renewables are supported under the Renewables Obligation (RO) and in future, will be supported through Contracts for Difference (CfDs). We have argued previously that medium-sized projects (between 5- 50MW) are disadvantaged because they cannot access the Feed-in

  • Wind Powered Electricity in the UK Wind Powered Electricity in the UK
    Special feature – Wind powered electricity in the UK Wind powered electricity in the UK This article looks at wind powered electricity in the UK, examining how its position in the UK energy mix has shifted from 2010 to 20191, and how wind capacity may change in the future. Key points • Total wind generating capacity increased by 19 GW from 5.4 GW in 2010 to 24 GW in 2019. This is the result of sizeable increases in capacity both onshore and offshore, which are up 10 GW and 8.5 GW respectively. • In the last year, UK offshore wind capacity rose 1.6 GW following the opening of Hornsea One, Beatrice extension (partially operational in 2018) and East Anglia One (partially operational). Hornsea One is now the largest offshore wind farm in the world with an operational capacity of over 1.2 GW. • In 2019, wind generators became the UK’s second largest source of electricity, providing 64 TWh; almost one fifth of the UK’s total generation. This was achieved by record onshore and offshore generation despite suboptimal conditions for wind, with 2019 reporting the lowest average wind speeds since 2012. • Onshore generation exceeded offshore for every year 2010 to 2019, however the gap narrowed each year. In 2019 the difference was marginal with each providing 32 TWh of electricity and 9.9 per cent of the UK’s total generation. • Offshore sites are typically able to use more of their available capacity for generation, as wind speed and direction are more consistent offshore. This is measured by the load factor, the proportion of maximum generation achieved.

  • UK Innovation Systems for New and Renewable Energy Technologies
    The UK Innovation Systems for New and Renewable Energy Technologies Final Report A report to the DTI Renewable Energy Development & Deployment Team June 2003 Imperial College London Centre for Energy Policy and Technology & E4tech Consulting ii Executive summary Background and approach This report considers how innovation systems in the UK work for a range of new and renewable energy technologies. It uses a broad definition of 'innovation' - to include all the stages and activities required to exploit new ideas, develop new and improved products, and deliver them to end users. The study assesses the diversity of influences that affect innovation, and the extent to which they support or inhibit the development and commercialisation of innovative new technologies in the UK. The innovation process for six new and renewable energy sectors is analysed: • Wind (onshore and offshore) • Marine (wave and tidal stream) • Solar PV • Biomass • Hydrogen from renewables • District and micro-CHP In order to understand innovation better, the report takes a systems approach, and a generic model of the innovation system is developed and used to explore each case. The systems approach has its origins in the international literature on innovation. The organising principles are twofold: • The stages of innovation. Innovation proceeds through a series of stages, from basic R&D to commercialisation – but these are interlinked, and there is no necessity for all innovations to go through each and every stage. The stages are defined as follows: Basic and applied R&D includes both ‘blue skies’ science and engineering/application focused research respectively; Demonstration from prototypes to the point where full scale working devices are installed in small numbers; Pre-commercial captures the move from the first few multiples of units to much larger scale installation for the first time; Supported commercial is the stage where technologies are rolled out in large numbers, given generic support measures; Commercial technologies can compete unsupported within the broad regulatory framework.

COMMISSIONED REPORT F01AA303A SCOTTISH NATURAL HERITAGE 2002 1 COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary Visual Assessment of Windfarms: Best Practice Report No: F01AA303A Contractor : University of Newcastle BACKGROUND The development process for many windfarms requires formal environmental impact assessment (EIA) and the incorporation of the results into an environmental statement (ES). SNH’s experience is that there can be a great deal of variation in the way that visual impact assessment (VIA) is dealt with in EIA. This project involved: a review of relevant guidance, research and development work on visibility, visual impact and significance; an investigation of the visibility of eight existing Scottish windfarms; a comparison between as-built visibility and estimates of visibility in the ESs; evaluation of Zone of Visual Influence (ZVI) and other assessment tools; and generation of Best Practice Guidelines for VIA of windfarms. MAIN FINDINGS • Many guidelines on windfarm development appear to be based on first generation windfarms and need to be revised for second and third generation turbines.
