Progress Stage 1 Report – priority locations – Industry View (February 2010) Stage 2 – deliverability – planning and funding (June 2010) –Engagement – Delivery Group – developers and port interests Stage 3 – Implementation based on market focused triggers being met Emerging Themes –locations operating as groups/clusters –timing of installation - earlier focus on some locations –importance of existing infrastructure and strengths – e.g north east sub-sea and O&M capability
Subsea / O&M Cluster Turbine manufacture, foundations, cables installation Marine Component manufacture, Installation Turbine manufacture, foundations, installation
ClusterPotential RolesTiming and Market Interest Forth Tay ClusterTurbine manufacture, foundations, cables and installation Sustained supply chain interest; early R3 sites (2014 onwards) Moray Firth ClusterComponent manufacture and Installation Moray Firth Installation timing could be pre 2015; Wave and Tidal role West Coast ClusterTurbine manufacture, foundations and installation Compete for Irish Sea, Timing of STW later (2017 onwards) Emerging Locations for Large Manufacturing
Next Steps Stage 2 Report – end June Investment and triggers for all sites Operations and maintenance locations Wave and Tidal needs Triggered delivery approach and funding
