Windier weather brings welcome boost to offshore wind-farms

The news is that it is getting windier down south. This unexpected quirk of climate change has given a welcome boost to offshore wind-farm developers.

Experts have said that as a result the waters off the coast of East Anglia and Essex could be home to many more wind farms.

Research from Atmos Consulting, has found that wind speeds in these areas have been rising so much that wind farms could generate 50% more electricity than imagined a decade ago.

10 GW of offshore projects - enough to power 10m homes - being planned for the southern part of the North Sea could benefit.

Research based on information taken from NASA satellite images found that the average annual wind speed in the southern part of the North Sea has increased from about 7.5 metres per second in 1990 to 8.5 metres in 2008. In comparison, wind speeds in the northern part of the North Sea just off the coast of Scotland, have remained the same during the period.

The good news is that if these trends continue, in a decade the south could be windier all year round than the north and therefore double the power generated by wind farms off the coast of East Anglia and Essex.

New software has been developed by Atmos Consulting to process 22 years of satellite images from space agency NASA. These images measure the size of small, capillary waves on the ocean surface, which indicate the strength of the wind.

In the past developers have relied on wind-speed levels taken on oil and gas installations or have used meteorological masts planted offshore. The Met Office has only limited satellite data to track offshore wind spends in the North Sea but work is underway to produce a comprehensive set of data of the last 30 years. It has been revealed that this would take two years to develop.

Head of offshore renewables at the British Wind Energy Association, Duncan Ayling, said “There have been wind-speed measurements on oil and gas installations that give some localised historic data, but a lot of the rest of it is extrapolation. If this technology provides an accurate measurement, it would be very exciting. More wind equals more money for projects. It would enable wind-farm developers to more accurately forecast revenues and have more certainty about the expected return on their investment.”

Chance to put enterprising town’s on map

THE enterprising initiatives of Lowestoft and Waveney business-es could help put the area on the map in a national competition.

Ideas are being sought to help promote the town and region as one of the most dynamic places in the country as part of the Enterprising Britain contest.

And readers are being encouraged to help develop the entry process and strategy by highlighting businesses and organisations which can be used as case studies for the contest.

The competition is aimed at inspiring projects and organisations to take the plunge, have faith in their ideas and put their busi-ness plans into action through innovation and technology, participation and social inclusion, education and skills, environment and infrastructure, and leadership and collaboration.

The winner will be judged the most enterprising place in the UK, a location where enterprise has helped transform a community and led to improved economic prospects for the area.

In 2006, Lowestoft entered the contest and came second with its Dawn of Enterprise project. Now it hopes to build on that success by entering the 2009 challenge.

Hazel Johnson, of Enterprise Lowestoft, who is heading up a working party to develop a detailed document ready for the competition, said: “This is a marvellous opportunity for us to demonstrate the massive impact many brave initiatives and fledgling businesses have made on the town and the district.

She has been joined by Waveney MP Bob Blizzard, Richard Perkins from the Waveney Economic Partnership, and representatives from 1st East, Make Your Mark campaign, Norfolk and Waveney Enterprise Partnership, and other key organisations.

She said there was a need to galvanise the community to supp-ort the entry and help to raise the profile of the town and district.

The working party has to produce a detailed document for judges to determine how Lowestoft has improved through enterprise in the past two years.

All entrants must be able to prove that enterprise is a reason for the economic or social changes within an area.

Mrs Johnson said the group had already brainstormed many ideas, including Lowestoft’s involvement in the wind energy industry and the Orbis Centre, bids by sporting clubs to train Olympic athletes and the way Lowestoft Town Football Club had marketed itself in the run up to their appearance at Wembley in the FA Vase.

Should Lowestoft make it into the regional stage, the town will go through to the national final. A win would mean automatic nomination as UK representative to the European Enterprise Awards and an invitation to join the Enterprising Britain network of enterprising places and people.

If you want to make an input or suggestion for the local entry, write to Russell Cook, Lowestoft Journal, 147 London Road North, Lowestoft NR32 1NB, or e-mail russell.cook@archant.co.uk

Brown Says Downturn Won’t Hit Green Plans

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Tuesday the global economic downturn would not affect a government drive to reduce the country’s carbon emissions. However, an industry executive cast doubt on the ability of the UK’s existing power transmission network to cope with planned increases in wind power output. Brown told a wind energy conference in London ministers were committed to meeting a target to produce 15 percent of the UK’s energy supply from renewable sources, such as wind and wave power, by 2020. “You may have heard some people say that these difficult economic times should or will reduce the government’s commitment to building a low carbon economy. They should not and will not,” Brown said in a recorded statement shown by video to delegates at the British Wind Energy Association’s (BWEA) conference. Doubts have been expressed about the UK’s ability to meet its renewable energy targets, with investors warning that companies need more financial incentives to develop wind farms. A report in Britain’s Observer newspaper at the weekend said delays in gaining planning approval for farms, long delivery times, escalating costs, and technical problems were all threatening to derail government plans. But BWEA Chief Executive Maria McCaffery said in a news conference on Tuesday the industry was confident it would be able to meet the targets. “It’s an area where there is tremendous positivism and confidence,” she said. However, the UK’s power transmission grid system is not capable of dealing with the output from planned new wind farms, said Keith Anderson, director of the renewables division of Scottish Power, part of Iberdrola SA. The grid is between 30 to 40 years old and needs immediate modernisation and investment, Anderson said at the news conference. A proposed upgrade of the main Beauly-Denny transmission line in Scotland, which would allow a significant increase in renewable energy capacity in the far north of the United Kingdom if it gets the go-ahead, was likely to take 10 to 12 years to carry out, he added. “We need more upgrades of that size and scale,” he said. “We cannot afford for that process to keep taking 12 years. If you start the process now for the offshore and marine sector, you’ll already be in 2020. It needs to happen now. “Scotland contributes a huge proportion of the onshore target to the overall target and if you don’t start building the transmission lines, you block some of that development and reduce its potential.” BRITAIN OVERTAKES DENMARK The United Kingdom would achieve three gigawatts of installed wind energy production capacity this week, up from one gigawatt in 2005, with the completed construction of Centrica Plc’s Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farms near Skegness in eastern England, the UK’s Department of Energy & Climate Change said in a statement. Earlier Tuesday, Centrica said it had gained approval for another 250 megawatt project off the Lincolnshire coast and was exploring the possibility of constructing two further wind farms totalling 1,000 MW. Britain had now overtaken Denmark as the world’s largest producer of energy from offshore wind, with 597 megawatts of capacity fully built, the government said. Offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom now have the potential to power the equivalent of about 300,000 UK homes, it said. “What this means is the creation of an unprecedented 100-billion-pounds market for renewable energy sources in just over a decade,” Brown told the conference. “That will create huge new business opportunities - and around 160,000 jobs.” Reporting by Phil Waller; Editing by Rosalba O’Brien, David Cowell and Simon Jessop, Reuters.

In October 2007 Prime Minister Helen Clark and Energy Minister David Parker launched the New Zealand Energy Strategy, which sets out the direction of New Zealand’s energy system to 2050.

The Strategy sets out the government’s vision and action plan for a sustainable, low emissions energy system. Launched with its companion document, the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy, the two strategies form the core of the energy sector’s response to climate change, which will contribute substantially to New Zealand’s sustainable future.

Some of the key initiatives within the energy strategy include:

·          target of 90% of generated electricity from renewable energy sources by 2025, as announced with the emissions trading scheme, which will mean keeping electricity prices lower than from electricity using fossil fuels that will attract emissions prices

·          considering regulatory options through the Electricity Act to limit new fossil fuel base-load generation over the next ten years

·          preparing a national policy statement on renewable energy to provide guidance to local authorities

·          a target to halve domestic transport emissions per capita by 2040, which will be assisted by increasing the use of renewable energy from biofuels and electricity to power vehicles

·          a range of energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives, as outlined in the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy

·          ensuring New Zealand is well placed to take up opportunities provided by emerging low carbon technologies when they are available, cost effective and applicable to New Zealand.

 

 

Funding for marine energy generation trials

Generating energy from waves or tides around New Zealand came a step closer in October 2007, with the Government offering funding to set up generating devices. Generating energy from waves or tides around New Zealand comes a step closer today, with the Government offering funding to set up generating devices. Energy Minister David Parker has called for applications from interested parties for funding from the Marine Energy Deployment Fund, which will be making grants of up to $2m (£750k) a year for the next four years.

Overseas experience to date indicates that there is very little impact on marine life, but that is one of the areas that will be closely monitored in the New Zealand trials. Any projects seeking government support through the fund will have to obtain resource consents, and that process will provide an opportunity to consider any potential impacts on fishing, recreational activities or other community interests.

The Marine Energy Deployment Fund is contestable, which means individuals or organisations will have to apply for funding. Applications will be assessed by an expert panel, with funding offered to projects that best meet a number of criteria. Applicants will be expected to match any grants with commercial investment. Applications for the first funding round closed in February 2008 with grants made in May 2008. The first devices are expected to be deployed and operating by 2010. Full details of the Marine Energy Deployment Fund including the criteria and guidelines for applicants are available on the EECA website www.eeca.govt.nz/renewable-energy/marine.html

 

Feb 15, 2008: An international panel of renewable energy and business experts has been appointed to evaluate applications for funding to develop marine energy in New Zealand. The government will be making grants of up to $2m a year for the next four years, through the Marine Energy Deployment Fund. Applications for the first funding round close at the end of February. Energy Minister David Parker today announced the panel of five international experts:

·          Henry Jeffrey, University of Edinburgh (UK) - joint author of the UK Roadmap for marine renewable energy and expert member of the peer review panel for Norwegian Energy marine energy research proposals.

·          Burt Hamner, Puget Sound Tidal Power (USA) - Lead contractor for the largest tidal power feasibility study in the USA.

·          PB Power, program management, engineering and construction management services (NZ/UK) - this international consultancy will be represented on the panel by New Zealand-based engineer Roumen Shipokov who will draw on their team of technical experts.

·          Dr Ed Hudson, E-Dec Ltd (NZ) - Previous roles have included Director of Marlborough Electric Ltd, Deputy Chairman of the Commerce Commission and a Partner at KPMG.

·          Gerry Te Kapa Coates, Wise Analysis Ltd (NZ) - Chair of the New Zealand Wind Energy Assn, board member of the NZ Centre for Advanced Engineering and Representative (board member) on Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.

 

Marine energy technologies are under development in a number of countries but most technologies are not yet mature. The first offshore commercial ‘wave farm’, utilising a Scottish wave device called Pelamis, will be operating before the end of 2008. The first full-scale trial of a tidal energy device is being conducted in Northern Ireland. The UK Government forecasts that there will be over 100 mW of operational marine energy devices by 2009.

 

The UK, Ireland, Portugal and Denmark are currently investing significantly in marine energy with the UK being the current leader in technology developments. Canada, the United States and Australia all have active projects to develop marine energy technologies and particular sites.

 

Projects

New Zealand has to date invested very little in marine energy but its natural resource advantage could make marine energy a significant contributor to future energy supply. Possibly as much as 20% of New Zealand’s electricity could be generated from marine energy sources. New Zealand’s tides sweep anticlockwise around our coast roughly twice a day, but give only a small rise and fall (2 - 3 m). Consequently, tidal currents have lower velocities than in other countries and tidal currents are patchily distributed around New Zealand. Offshore islands, passages and seabed irregularities can provide a focussing mechanism and there are some areas of significant tidal current flow, for example, Cook Strait. There are currently fourteen active wave and tidal energy projects in New Zealand. All are in the early stages, all are relatively small. There are two publicly announced

tidal projects, and two wave projects, one developing a wave device and a second seeking to import an overseas technology.

 

 

New Zealand Energy Quarterly launched

The New Zealand Energy Quarterly, replaces Statistics New Zealand’s Energy Statistics Hot Off The Press, and provides quarterly energy statistics on the supply of major fuels, pricing information and greenhouse gas emissions. Information to the end of the December quarter of 2007 includes:

·          Crude oil production reaching a record high for New Zealand due to the Tui oil field coming on line, boosting oil exports by almost four times compared with the December 2006 quarter.

·          Annual gas production rising almost ten percent compared with 2006, largely due to Pohokura coming on line.

·          New Zealand’s installed wind capacity for electricity generation almost doubling in 2007.

·          A reduction in coal consumption for electricity generation due to the commissioning of Genesis Energy’s e3p efficient gas-fired generation facility. This reduction in coal use for electricity generation helped reduce greenhouse emissions from electricity generation.

·          While petrol and diesel prices increased five and 12 per cent respectively during the December 2007 quarter, New Zealand’s strong dollar, especially against the US dollar, continued to shelter motorists from the full impact of high international oil prices.

The New Zealand Energy Quarterly is free to download or subscribe from www.med.govt.nz/energy/nzeq/. The Ministry also provides up-to-date information via its energy webpages at www.med.govt.nz/energy/data/.

 

 

June 2008 - New Zealand Biofuel

NZBMA’s members are further concerned the Ministry of Economic Development is recommending relaxing proposed regulations for NZ biofuel quality standards, specifically to allow entry for the US product (frequently soy-based biodiesel). This raises the second issue for the NZBMA, concern about the quality and type of biofuels to be used by oil companies to satisfy the proposed biofuels sales obligations in New Zealand.  Mr Posnett says international research has shown that some biofuels do not improve greenhouse gas emissions levels. It is also known that the use of food crops for fuel has caused a dramatic price hike for grains and oils. The NZBMA wants the quality standards proposed and testing systems enshrined in biofuels legislation to ensure biofuels at the pump in New Zealand are credible for consumers and actually address climate change issues. “Surely New Zealand, with its growing international reputation for leading climate change and renewable energy solutions should not seek easier options that may tarnish its position,” Mr Posnett says. “This is more particularly so because NZ is blessed with raw material that converts to the best environment biofuel commercially available.”

National Renewable Energy Blueprint

BERR News Release (2008/131), 26 June 2008

 

A national renewable energy blueprint designed to slash carbon emissions dramatically, reduce the UK’s dependency on oil and gas and claim a valuable share of global green business opportunity was set out by Business Secretary John Hutton today. Mr Hutton outlined proposals to enable the UK to meet its proposed 15% renewable energy target by 2020, an increase of 1,000% on current levels. This is likely to include up to a third of electricity coming from renewables as well as significant increases in the use of renewable forms of heat and transport fuels.

 

Speaking alongside the Prime Minister at the Government’s Low Carbon Economy Summit on London’s South Bank, Mr Hutton said: “We are opening a new chapter in Britain’s history as a nation of enterprise and innovation, moving from the old, carbon intensive economy of the industrial revolution to the new low carbon technologies of the 21st century. “This vast expansion of renewable energy marks an important moment in this journey and, alongside our plans for new nuclear and clean coal, will play a crucial role in tackling climate change and reducing our dependency on oil and gas.

“We must make the most rapid progress possible to becoming a cleaner, greener economy and we will strive to make these changes in the most effective way possible, with the least cost to consumers.

“We will also maximise the economic benefit for the UK by creating a new generation of green collar jobs and making the most of our strengths as one of the world’s largest manufacturing economies; a world class centre of energy expertise and a leading location for inward investment.”

 

New NOP polling published by the Department for Business today shows broad public support for renewable energy:

·          84% of people favour the use of renewable energy.

·          64% would be happy to live within 5km of a wind power development.

 

The Renewable Energy Strategy consultation published today builds on existing measures, and includes proposals for:

·          Extending and raising the level of the Renewables Obligation to encourage 30-35% of our electricity to come from renewable sources by 2020;

·          Introducing a new financial incentive mechanism to encourage a very large increase in renewable heat, including in homes and other buildings;

·          Extending more effective financial support for heat and electricity microgeneration technologies in homes and other buildings, potentially through a feed-in tariff;

·          Helping the planning system to deliver, by agreeing a clear deployment strategy at regional level similar to the approach established for housing;

·          Ensuring appropriate incentives for new electricity grid infrastructure and removing access to the transmission grid as a barrier to renewable deployment;

·          Exploiting the full potential of energy from waste by considering further restrictions on landfilling biomass, as far as is practical;

·          Requiring all biofuels to meet strict sustainability criteria to limit adverse impacts on food prices, and other social and environmental concerns;

·          Encouraging the development of new renewable technologies by ensuring effective support particularly where the UK has the potential to be a market leader;

·          Maximising the benefits for UK business by providing a clear long-term policy framework, working with Regional Development Agencies to tackle blockages, considering support for specific technologies and addressing skills shortages.

·          We estimate that the expansion in renewable energy implied by the 15% target could:

·          achieve carbon savings of around 20 million tonnes of CO2 in 2020 (representing a cumulative CO2 saving of up to 900 MtCO2 between now and 2030). These would be additional to those we expect to be achieved from within the EU ETS as a result of the renewable energy target, which may be around 75MtCO2 in 2020 (1400 MtCO2 cumulative to 2030).

·          help security of energy supply and reduce gas imports by between 12-16% in 2020 - with increasing benefits as these become more scarce and expensive. At the same time, there will be a need for significant investment in non-renewable back-up generation given the largely intermittent nature of renewable generation.

·          provide significant business opportunities - there may be in the order of 160,000 jobs created in the UK and beyond, and we will want to maximise the extent that these go to UK business by providing a clear, long-term policy framework against which companies can invest, especially key opportunities arising out of research, innovation and development by using the UK’s specific geographical advantages such as wave and tidal power.

 

Responses to the Renewable Energy Strategy consultation are invited by 26 September 2008. A final strategy is expected to be in place by spring 2009.

 

The energy regulator Ofgem will have an increasingly important role to play in helping reach our renewables target.

·          Draft revised Guidance to Ofgem on social and environmental issues is also published for consultation today by the Department for Business. This includes Guidance on the development of energy networks, and connection to them, in the light of the renewables target.

·          The Department for Business and Ofgem have also today published a new package of measures to speed up grid connections for renewable energy projects. A backlog of around 10GW of wind energy at various stages of development is currently waiting in the queue for grid connection. The recommendations follow a year long Transmission Access Review and include steps to accelerate deployment in the short-term, and measures to incentivise the timely delivery of essential new infrastructure. Initial measures could lead to 1GW of wind being connected within two years.

 

Notes for editors

 

1.       Last year the UK, along with other EU member states, agreed to a binding target stating that 20% of the EU’s energy consumption must come from renewable sources by 2020. The European Commission has proposed the UK’s contribution to this should increase the share of renewables in our energy mix from 1.5% in 2006 (most recent data) to 15% in 2020.

 

2.       In 2000 we set ourselves a target for 10% of our electricity to come from renewable sources by 2010, and in 2003 announced our aspiration to double that level by 2020. Under these commitments we have tripled electricity from renewables in the last 5 years. Our key mechanism for delivering this growth has been the Renewables Obligation, which requires electricity suppliers to source a prescribed and increasing proportion of their electricity from renewable sources. The success of the RO means that the UK will this year become the leading country in the world for offshore wind - with generation representing almost 10% of our total renewable capacity. The 2007 Energy White Paper set out measures to improve the RO -

 

3.       Meeting the Government’s share of the EU 2020 target for renewable energy could require up to 30%-35% of electricity to be supplied from renewable sources. This implies connecting around 30-40 Giga Watts of renewable capacity (much of it offshore and onshore wind).

 

4.       The Government periodically issues guidance to Ofgem on its contribution to the attainment of relevant Government social or environmental policies. Ofgem is required to have regard to the guidance when discharging the statutory functions to which its principal objective and general duties apply. The last guidance issued in 2004. New draft guidance aims to take account of the development of relevant Government policies since that time, notably on emissions and renewable energy.

 

5.     The Transmission Access Review (TAR) was announced in the Government’s May 2007 Energy White Paper 2007. The TAR carried out jointly by Ofgem and the Department for Business, considered the present technical, commercial and regulatory framework for the delivery of new transmission infrastructure and the management of the existing grid capacity to ensure that they remain fit for purpose as the proportion of renewable generation on the system grows.

6.     The final report published on 26 June 2008 sets out a number of measures that taken together could remove or significantly reduce grid related barriers to renewable and other forms of generation. There are three key outcomes of the review. These relate to the enduring access arrangements, short term measures which can be implemented while the enduring arrangements are being developed and implemented, and longer term measures designed to help meet the 2020 targets.

7.     Further information on the Transmission Access Review including the final report can be found on the Department for Business and Ofgem websites at http://www.berr.gov.uk/energy/sources/renewables/policy/transm ission-access/page40567.html

8.     In 2006, the DTI commissioned a quantitative research survey to explore awareness and attitudes to renewable energy amongst the general public in Great Britain. It focused on awareness of and attitudes to renewable energy, influences on these opinions and perceptions of recent media coverage on renewable energy. A second survey was commissioned in March 2007 and published in September 2007. The third run of the survey was commissioned in March 2008 and is published today. The survey can be accessed at http://www.berr.gov.uk/energy/sources/renewables/planning/publ ic-perception/page18642.html
