Will the UK lead Europe?
… but they are a powerful first step
Words don’t make a wind farm…
… and British rhetoric is leading Europe
… and words do have substantial effects

Words of Power I
“As we move to a new, low carbon economy, there are major
opportunities for our businesses to become world leaders in the
technologies we will need for the future – such as fuel cells, offshore wind and
tidal power.”
Tony Blair

Words of Power II
“As the most commercially viable renewable power source, it is vital that we harness the energy of the wind both on and offshore now.”
Brian Wilson

Words of Power III
“The benefits of offshore wind are not just environmental; it also presents British industry with a number of opportunities for job creation and investment in manufacturing and construction, especially given the
many years of experience gained from the oil and gas activity in the North
Sea.”
Brian Wilson

Design Matters

NFFO – Bad Design
• Lack of Planning Procedure• No Penalties for Non-compliance• No Deadlines
![Page 13: Is the UK Leading Europe?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56814155550346895dad305b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ROCs
• Added 21 MW in UK in 2003• Reduce political risks• Don’t touch the targets• Deadlines and penalties• Secure adequate sites through planning• Develop infrastructure• Grid codes that reflect the technology
