  • Wind Powering America FY07 Activities Summary
    Wind Powering America FY07 Activities Summary Dear Wind Powering America Colleague, We are pleased to present the Wind Powering America FY07 Activities Summary, which reflects the accomplishments of our state Wind Working Groups, our programs at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and our partner organizations. The national WPA team remains a leading force for moving wind energy forward in the United States. At the beginning of 2007, there were more than 11,500 megawatts (MW) of wind power installed across the United States, with an additional 4,000 MW projected in both 2007 and 2008. The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) estimates that the U.S. installed capacity will exceed 16,000 MW by the end of 2007. When our partnership was launched in 2000, there were 2,500 MW of installed wind capacity in the United States. At that time, only four states had more than 100 MW of installed wind capacity. Seventeen states now have more than 100 MW installed. We anticipate five to six additional states will join the 100-MW club early in 2008, and by the end of the decade, more than 30 states will have passed the 100-MW milestone. WPA celebrates the 100-MW milestones because the first 100 megawatts are always the most difficult and lead to significant experience, recognition of the wind energy’s benefits, and expansion of the vision of a more economically and environmentally secure and sustainable future. WPA continues to work with its national, regional, and state partners to communicate the opportunities and benefits of wind energy to a diverse set of stakeholders.

  • Tonnes Per Year CO2 Saving†
    Wind power is an integral part of the UK Government’s climate change initiative; with the recognition that offshore wind power in particular has the potential to generate a significant amount of the energy needed by the UK itself in coming years. The London Array project forms part of a 7 gigawatt series of projects in the UK, which when complete will provide the energy equivalent to the needs of 7% of the UK¥. Supplying coatings to the London Array is the latest step in AkzoNobel’s experience in the offshore wind power market. Previous work includes supplying high performance coatings to some of the world’s most exciting offshore wind developments including wind farms Alpha Ventus, Greater Gabbard, Beatrice and also Ormonde, a 150MW installation in the Irish Sea. ¥ Source: bwea.co.uk/offshore/info * 470,000 homes powered by the output annually for phase 1 of the project * Based on an average annual household energy consumption of 4,478kWh and site specific data indicating a load factor of at least 39%. † Carbon calculators are based on 430g CO2/kWh and site specific data indicating a load factor of at least 39%.

  • Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering
    Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering BUSINESS IS 2 Building Offshore Wind in England Ministerial Foreword Offshore wind is a UK success story and the UK is open for business. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind. We have more offshore wind installed than anywhere else in the world. We are an island nation, blessed with strong winds and shallow seas – and this energy resource is on our doorstep. We are determined to move to cleaner electricity generation and offshore wind has an important role to play in our long term plan for a balanced, low carbon energy mix. I want the UK to secure the economic benefits of this new industry. Through our offshore wind industrial strategy, the Government is committed to working in partnership with business to build a competitive, innovative UK supply chain for offshore wind, delivering jobs and economic growth. Building a strong supply chain needs the commitment and expertise of local partners, working alongside central government to support businesses who want to invest here. The Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE) partnership offers an integrated and cooperative approach between Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships in England, to provide the best possible support to businesses choosing England as an investment location. The Rt Hon Matthew Hancock MP Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy CORE brings together the relevant expertise from UK Central Government and the six major investment hubs in England to support business growth and showcase opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) for the offshore wind sector.

    COMMUNITY INVESTMENT REVIEW 2019/20 FOREWORD || CONTENTS FOREWORD 2019/20 has been an extraordinary year for SSE Renewables. We started construction on two new ground-breaking offshore wind farms – Dogger Bank, which will be the world’s largest wind farm once complete, and Seagreen, which will be Scotland’s largest. In January 2020 we greenlighted a first subsidy-free onshore wind farm in Scotland, an extension to the existing Gordonbush wind farm in Foreword 01 Funder’s Report 02 Regional Funds 06 Sutherland. Advancing these wind farms, and others in the development pipeline, are a critical part of the response to the climate emergency. Together, they will make a significant contribution to meeting the UK’s ambitious net zero carbon targets whilst making a positive economic contribution in their local areas.
