How energy is used in Wales• Total Energy
– split across transport, electricity and heating– total energy consumption is 125kWh/d/p– Electricity only: 22kWh/d/p (18kWh/d/p in UK)
• Domestic total energy demand– 25 kWh/d/p– >3 GW demanded – every second– 20,215kWh/home/yr

Sustainable energy resources
• Wind – abundant, wide spread
• Onshore hydro – plenty of rain!
• Offshore hydro – some of the UKs best tidal flow
• Solar – in the south is best

The Wales approach“Our aim is to produce more electricity from renewables than we consume as a
nation within 20 years.”
One Wales: One Planet, a new Sustainable Development Scheme for Wales, p. 55

The Wales approach -helping communities
• Wales has world leading agenda– PD rights for some installations from 2009 using
devolved rights– Encouragement through active Assembly Minister– Renewable Energy Route Map– One Wales: One Planet, a new Sustainable Development
Scheme for Wales

The Wales approachPlanning Policy
– TAN 8: Renewable Energy (incl. SSAs for wind)
– TAN 12: Design
– TAN 22: Sustainable Buildings (2010) (mandatory CSH)

Action on small/community-scale renewables will include: initial £15m EU funding supporting 22 community energy projects maximising the significant benefits of providing domestic heat through renewable
means in all our programmes supporting the early introduction of a UK renewable heat incentive scheme working with stakeholders to encourage the take-up of renewable energy financial
incentives from micro- to macro-scale projects championing the potential benefits of feed-in tariffs for community renewable energy
projects encouraging the piloting of smart-grid technology in Wales small-scale renewables support through the Welsh planning system providing domestic renewables as part of our Home Energy Efficiency Scheme promoting local energy generation, including as part of public sector schemes and
procurements Working towards zero carbon homes by 2016
