A word on who we are…

Wind farms consented
• Considerable capacity consented but yet to start construction– 4,357MW onshore wind – 3,127MW offshore wind
• 13,600MW in total built, building or ready to build
![Page 7: Wind in the UK – a growing market Dr Gordon Edge Director of Policy RenewableUK](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da05503460f94a8b8db/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The onshore planning logjam
• ~8,000MW of onshore capacity is built, building or ready to build
• However, nearly 20,000MW has entered the planning system since 2002
• ~2,500MW rejected• 7,700MW being held up in planning• Aviation issues a key problem
![Page 8: Wind in the UK – a growing market Dr Gordon Edge Director of Policy RenewableUK](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da05503460f94a8b8db/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Moving ahead onshore
• Projects consented may still have barriers to delivery– Planning conditions may need to be discharged– Grid connections may still be awaited– Finance may not be in place
• Nonetheless, we anticipate delivery of ~1GW/year for the next five years– 2010 may see a dip in onshore delivery over 2009, mostly due to
finance issues

Near term delivery quite clear

Some uncertainties
• The Election– Unclear what effect a change of Government might have– May be changes in support mechanism, planning
• Implementation of ‘Connect & Manage’– Implications for connection, particularly in Scotland
• Implementation of the OFTO regime– Affects offshore projects particularly around 2013-16
• Charging for transmission services– Potential move to per MWh charges instead of per kW per year

So…
• Despite some uncertainty, the UK is moving to a market of:– ~1GW/year onshore, 2010-20– ~1GW/year offshore, 2010-15– ~3-4GW/year offshore, 2015-20
