2 WORLD World LEADING Leading RESOURCE Projects & Technologies WORLD LEADING TARGETS AND LEGISLATION WORLD LEADING PROJECTS AND TECHNOLOGIES GRID AND PLANNING SOLUTIONS

3 North Europe Offshore Wind 2020 Aberdeen 1.5GW 40GW 4GW Ormonde 6GW Bard Offshore 1 15GW 2.5GW Windfarms to be completed 2009/2010

4 Wind Overview Scotland has 25% of Europe s offshore wind energy potential Capacity factors are higher at 40-55% Scotland has best 100m plus deepwater potential in the UK suitable for floating systems - near enough to grid for UK ROCs

5 Scotland s Wave and Tidal Resource Scotland s position at the end of a long Atlantic Ocean fetch produces tremendously energetic waves Scotland has over 70% of the UK s tidal power which has been estimated at 13 billion Kilowatt hours per annum

6 UK Round 3 sites - 25GW 9 Development Zones of varying sizes Moray and Cromarty Firths Forth and Tay Estuaries EU 2020 forecast for offshore wind Dogger Bank

7 Offshore wind in Scotland Round Three sites in Scotland. Moray and Cromarty Firths (expected 2-3GW) Forth and Tay Estuaries (3-5GW) Build start dates 2014/15 Scottish Territorial Waters Round 10 sites 5 on the West Coast and 5 on the East Coast Expected to total 6.4GW Argyll Array will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world Build start dates in 2013 Argyll Array 1500MW Islay 680MW Kintyre 378MW Wigtown Bay 280MW Solway Firth 300MW Beatrice 920MW Inchcape 905MW Bell Rock 700MW Neart na Gaoithe 360MW Forth Array 415MW Round 3 site Moray Firth 1,000-3,000MW Round 3 site Firth of Forth 3,000-5,000MW

8 Offshore Wind Scotland s Renewables Ambition First Minister Alex Salmond We need to look to a future when we will have 40, 50 or 60GW of renewable power from wind, wave and tidal resources to help the wider European Community to achieve it s Climate Change goals

9 Government Targets Policy Drivers Scottish Targets - 31% from Renewables by % by 2020 (currently 25%) 20% of Primary Energy from Renewables by 2020 CO2 reduction target: 42% by 2020, and 80% by 2050 UK Targets 35% power from Renewable by 2020 Currently at 5% 15% of Primary Energy by 2020 Kyoto target 80% emission reduction by 2050 Scotland to be a powerhouse of Renewable Energy Alex Salmond, First Minister act now or pay later Sir Nicholas Stern

19 PLANNING SOLUTIONS In 2007 the incoming Scottish Government promised to improve the system in order to maintain investor confidence in what is effectively the renewable powerhouse of the UK. These promises were kept, with a flurry of decisions coming after Government took office and a further voluntary pledge to make decisions on section 36 projects within 9 months of submission. (BWEA)

20 PLANNING SOLUTIONS Since 2007, we have consented 24 s36 applications and refused 5 This amounts to 1.8 GW consented capacity Current pipeline of 33 s36 applications (23 onshore wind, 9 hydro and 1 thermal) = 2.7 GW

21 SW Scotland Aviation Issues Around 60 projects (s36 and LPA s) with an objection in place concerning either civil or defence radar. Potential radar solutions being developed which could free up 2 to 3GW of capacity. JW
