Office-Bearers’ Reports a) General Secretary’s Report Professor Geoffrey Boulton gave the following report: In keeping with charity law our activities during the fiscal year April 2008 to March 2009 are recorded in the Annual Trustees’ Report and Accounts for that period. This has been approved by Council in its capacity as the Society’s Trustees and a copy is available to any Fellow. “In addition to the papers received for this evening, all Fellows received an Annual Review which summarises the main activities described in the Trustees Report and includes an approved summary of accounts on which the Treasurer will report later. I do not propose to comment on each and every activity mentioned in the very full and varied programme of activities recorded in the Report on Activities for Session. I will let them speak for themselves, but would like to say a few things about the new things that have happened and in part, at least, provide a basis for things we hope to do in the future. 7

The openness and transparency of the UK power market have made it one of the most attractive destinations for overseas investors including strategic investors such as major utilities as well as infrastructure funds and other financial investors. Similar to many other markets in the world, the UK power market is going through a transition towards a cleaner energy mix. The UK will phase out coal-fired power plant by 2025 and offshore wind power is playing an increasingly important role in delivering the low carbon energy mix.

Kyle Martin, LCP Expert information for all those invested in the UK’s energy future REPORT Labour public ownership plan could create hundreds of local energy groups The Labour Party has put forward a programme for a bigger public role in energy supply that includes both national and regional authorities to set policy and could result in hundreds of local energy agencies. It promises, in ‘Bringing Energy Home’, that the change is not a return to “the distant bureaucracies of the 1970s”. The policy will start with a National Energy Agency, set up on the institutional base of National Grid, which will have duties over both decarbonisation and social objectives. It will own and operate the transmission system and will take over some of Ofgem’s functions. It will also be able to borrow to fund system extensions, including owning and operating storage. Regional energy agencies, based on distribution network operators’ areas, will have similar responsibilities within their areas and will also be able to take action over energy efficiency, regional industrial strategy and new infrastructure such as vehicle charging networks.

  • Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector
    Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector Prepared for the Department of Energy as subtopic 5.2 of the U.S. Offshore Wind: Removing Market Barriers Grant Opportunity 24th September 2013 Disclaimer This Report is being disseminated by the Department of Energy. As such, the document was prepared in compliance with Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-554) and information quality guidelines issued by the Department of Energy. Though this Report does not constitute “influential” information, as that term is defined in DOE’s information quality guidelines or the Office of Management and Budget's Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (Bulletin), the study was reviewed both internally and externally prior to publication. For purposes of external review, the study and this final Report benefited from the advice and comments of offshore wind industry stakeholders. A series of project-specific workshops at which study findings were presented for critical review included qualified representatives from private corporations, national laboratories, and universities. Acknowledgements Preparing a report of this scope represented a year-long effort with the assistance of many people from government, the consulting sector, the offshore wind industry and our own consortium members. We would like to thank our friends and colleagues at Navigant and Garrad Hassan for their collaboration and input into our thinking and modeling. We would especially like to thank the team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) who prepared many of the detailed, technical analyses which underpinned much of our own subsequent modeling.

  • Parish Lists of Wigtownshire and Minnigaff, 1684
    1 r SCOTTISH RECORD SOCIETY no 50 PARISH LISTS OF WIGTOWNSHIRE AND MINNIGAFF i684 EDITED BY WI LLI AM SCOT. EDINBURGH : PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY J. SKINNER & COMPANY, LTD. 1916. c^ INTRODUCTION. The following Lists appear to have been drawn up in accordance with instructions to the Episcopalian Curates of Galloway and Dumfriesshire to furnish Nominal Rolls of all persons, male or female, over the age of 12 years, resident within their respective parishes—grouped according to their residences, farms and house- " holds, and specially indicating such as were irregular," that is non-conforming. The.author of "The Hereditary Sheriffs of Galloway," Vol. II., p. 139, refers to the extreme leniency exercised by the Curates in their reports. A Summary is appended showing the apparent number of persons over 12 years of age, -and the very small number reported " " or as irregular "recusant." (Appendix I.) Statistical allowance has not been made in this Summary for such facts as that the Curate of Port Patrick mentions by name " merely the head of the household, adding and his wife and family and servants," and further, it is by no means certain that Roman Catholics were not specially exempted from this Census. The Lists, with the exception of that of Port Patrick, appear to have been carefully drawn up, and to have been complete so far as Wigtownshire and Minnigaff Parish were concerned. Wodrow, "Sufferings of the Church," Vol. II., Book III., pp. 316-317, refers to the Porteous Rolls of earlier date, and quotes a paper which was sent to the Clergy headed : — "Lists of the Things to be done by the Minister in each Parish, 1683," wherein they are called upon to "Give a full and complete Roll of all within the Parish." (See Appendix II.) The following Lists, however, apparently conformed to a supplementary order of later date, possibly issued by John Grahame of Claverhouse, who had been appointed Sheriff of " Wigtownshire, and later received Commission of Justiciary and extraordinar Commission." (See Register of the Privy Council, 1683, third series, Vol.
