5 ASSESSMENT 5.1 Assessment Approach and Methodology Offshore Energy SEA 2 5 ASSESSMENT 5.1 Assessment approach and methodology This SEA covers an enormous marine area comprising all UK waters with water depth from the intertidal to more than 2,400m. The draft plan/programme includes for the licensing of offshore oil and gas activities, the storage of gas and CO2, offshore wind farms and marine renewables. The assessment therefore has to address complex issues and multiple interrelationships, where a simplistic score based matrix assessment would be inadequate. Following discussion with the SEA Steering Group an evidence based consideration was agreed. In addition, significant use has been made of Geographical Information System (GIS) tools to collate, process, analyse and present spatial information. The assessment for this SEA is a staged process (Figure 5.1) incorporating inputs from a variety of sources: • Baseline understanding of the relevant receptors (including other users) grouped according to the SEA Directive (see Appendix 3 Environmental baseline and Section 4 Environmental information and the range of underpinning technical reports produced for the SEA process) together with existing environmental problems and the likely evolution of the baseline conditions. Given the comprehensive nature of the environmental baseline produced for OESEA, only updates to the baseline section since the publication of OESEA or baseline information relevant to the new aspects of the OESEA2 draft plan/programme are included in this report. • The likely activities, and potential sources of effect (see Box 5.1) and the existing mitigations, regulatory and other controls (see Appendix 5). • The evolving regulatory framework. • The evolution of technology. • The SEA objectives (see Section 3). • The evidence base regarding the relative risks and potential for significant effects from offshore wind farm, wave, tidal stream and tidal range developments, offshore oil and gas exploration and production, carbon dioxide storage and gas storage related activities. • Steering Group, statutory consultee and stakeholder perspectives on important issues, information sources and gaps, and potential areas to exclude from licensing derived from scoping, assessment workshop, regional stakeholder workshops, sector workshops, meetings and other communications – see Appendix 1 and 2. At a strategic level, a distinction has been drawn for various effect mechanisms between impacts which may be significant in terms of conservation status of a species or population (and hence are significant in strategic terms), and impacts which may be significant to individual animals, but which will not influence sufficient numbers to have a significant effect on population viability or conservation status (and hence strategically significant). February 2011 79 Environmental Report Offshore Energy SEA 2 Examples of this approach include the consideration of acoustic effects on marine mammals, collision risk for birds and oil spill effects. This approach does not imply that mortality or sub- lethal effects on individual animals are unimportant (clearly there are welfare considerations, particularly for avian and mammalian species); but it is appropriate that strategic considerations are made at a biogeographic population or species level – as is done for example, in the selection of qualifying features for Natura 2000 sites.

A questionmark indicates uncertainty of potential for effect. The sources of potentially significant effect identified in Box 5.1 have been categorised by Assessment Topic (left hand column, see key at end of table) which forms the basis of the subsequent assessment sections. The potentially significant effects identified in Box 5.1 represent potential issues which merit further consideration (location of assessment signposted in right hand column, Assessment Section).

  • 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%. The facts on the size of the project speak for themselves… onshore 1 substation offshore substations 2 km² offshore With a capacity of up to 1000 megawatts (MW), the London Array Offshore 100 area Wind Farm in the outer Thames Estuary is expected to become the world’s wind turbines largest offshore wind farm when the construction of phase one of the project 175 km of offshore cabling is completed towards the end of 2012.

  • 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.
