2. About RenewableUK 600+ corporate members, large & small from all sectors RenewableUK represents the wind, wave & tidal sectors of the UK 55 members of staff Offices in Westminster, Belfast, Cardiff & Glasgow

3. RenewableUK - The voice of wind and marine energy

4. Worldwide Deployment of Wind Energy Total cumulative capacity at end 2014: 370GW (+31% vs. 2012) UK now 6th in world market, behind: –China –US –Germany –Spain –India Only 7.7GW offshore and UK is world leader with 53% of that (end of 2014)

5. Why Wind in the UK? Abundant Natural Resource Security of Supply Stability of Pricing Climate Protection Leadership Economic Benefits

6. A huge resource onshore… >9m/s 8-9m/s >7-8m/s >5.5-7m/s

7. …and even more offshore >9m/s 8-9m/s >7-8m/s >5.5-7m/s

8. Wind power delivery in the UK today UK total deployment (to Dec 2014) 715 wind projects (24 offshore) 5,995 turbines (1,184 offshore) 7,993 MW (onshore) 4,049 MW (offshore) 29,346,739 MWh per year 7,000,653 homes powered 12,619,098 tonnes of CO2 emissions saved per year

9. Wind power delivery in Wales today Wales total deployment (to Dec 2014) 62 wind projects (2 offshore) 663 turbines (55 offshore) 559 MW (onshore) 150 MW (offshore) 1,727,856 MWh per year 412,179 homes powered 742,978 tonnes of CO2 emissions saved per year

10. Delivery is accelerating 1st GW – 14 years 2nd GW – 20 months 3rd GW – 19 months 4th GW – 13 months 5th GW < 12 months > 2GW installed in 2013 1.4 GW installed in 2014

11. Wave Energy Resource

12. Tidal Stream Energy Resource

13. UK Leading Technology

14. Current Capacities and 2020 Aspiration Wave Energy – 3.045MW Tidal Energy – 5.01MW By 2020, Wave & Tidal – 200 to 300MW

15. UK and EU Renewable Energy Targets 20% all EU energy from renewables by 2020 UK share: 15% (35% electricity) DECC Renewable Energy Routemap –13GW Onshore Wind –‘Up to’ 20GW Offshore –3-4% Hydro

16. Benefits for the UK Home-grown power –Security of supply; avoidance of fuel imports Reductions in carbon emissions Industrial opportunity for UK companies –Especially offshore; transfer of skills and technologies from offshore oil and gas sector –UK Based Supply Chain

17. Real Costs of the RO to Households Wind power supported by Renewables Obligation –Since 2002, RO has supported renewable power to the tune of £12.9bn; £6.4bn for wind (50%) –2013/14 RO was worth £2.60bn; £1,750m for wind (67%) –Domestic power = 29%, so households paid £508m for wind –27.6m households (ONS 2014) = £18.39 per household = 35p per week Wind displaces more expensive generators (at time of generation) – The Merit Order Effect –Analysis of German and Danish systems indicates this effect makes renewables a net benefit to consumers

18. Challenges Planning –Localism –Disjoint between national & local policy plus loss of regional targets –Spatial (TAN 8) vs Evidence Based policy Grid –New grid needed with 50% more capacity, configured for decentralised generating plant Electricity Market Reform (EMR) –The Energy Bill – most radical reform for over 20 years

19. Wales Planning Policy – TAN 8 1009.5MW in Wales awaiting determination. 635.6MW Consented 709MW Operational
