6. So how do we secure continued rate of growth? Tackle the potential adverse trends that can be controlled, and which industry responds to: MARKET GRID PLANNING CONSTRAINTS ….with continued confidence then industry will create continued demand for skills …with more relaxed planning constraints, land will become available

7. Market Maintain a healthy long term incentive for onshore wind energy – maintain the gap between supply and demand

8. Grid Progress the key enabling grid upgrades Establish a grid charging mechanism that recognises the remote locations of many wind projects

9. Planning consents and constraints Add more weight to the environmental benefits of wind farms Address the uncertainty of impacts Resolve radar constraints Seek ways to develop on environmentally constrained sites Accept that wind farms are generally highly visible Promote a culture of public acceptance

10. So…Will the Onshore Wind Sector continue to grow?
