ORBISENERGY : THE HUB FOR OFFSHORE RENEWABLES JOHNATHAN REYNOLDS

The energy / low carbon sector Global market for low carbon sectors - £4.3 trillion UK has the 6 th largest market share – £107.3 billion – 52,263 companies active in the sectors – Employing 896,100 people Suffolk’s profile: – £1.46 billion turnover per annum – 605 companies active in the sectors – Employing 9,700 people

Policy Context European 20/20/20 energy & climate change targets – 20% energy from renewables by 2020 – Reduction in carbon emissions of more than 20% UK energy policy – delivering secure, affordable, low carbon energy – 15% primary energy from renewables by 2020 – Increasing UK content in energy projects, whilst reducing costs UK economic policy – low carbon economic growth – Focus on high value growth sectors – localism / local enterprise partnerships

UK Energy Roadmap The growth potential in this sector is very substantial EU targets – binding and non- negotiable Increasing the rate of deployment to realise this potential will require substantial reduction in costs. Need to overcome supply chain barriers to lower costs and deploy at scale for both 2020 and beyond.

Suffolk’s Economic Priorities The region is already a major generator and supplier of energy East Anglia is at the centre of the world’s largest market for offshore wind energy, estimated at over 90GW across Europe, exceeding £250bn. The Southern North Sea will be a major European hub for large scale storage of gas and captured carbon (CCS), potentially generating billions for UK plc. Nuclear power in the region is worth in excess of £10bn over the coming years

Energy Portfolio – East of England Upstream oil & gas: 150 platforms, 100+ fields Gas processing terminal: Bacton terminal Decommissioning: Sizewell, Bradwell, 10+ offshore gas platforms Wind: 24+ offshore wind farms, 15 onshore farms Bioenergy: 3 biomass-fired power plants, 4 in development Conventional generation: 12 natural gas plants, 1 coal-fired power station Nuclear: 2 decommissioned stations, 1 generating, 3 new reactors Coal Gasification: Rich coal seams off the East Anglian coast Carbon capture and storage: European hub for CO2 storage Electricity transmission and distribution: 160+ transmission lines, and 92,000+km of overhead distribution lines and underground cables

Offshore Gas – Southern North Sea UK’s second largest energy manufacturing and service base Southern North Sea First area in UK for offshore gas 150 SNS platforms, 2 interconnectors 50+ coming through Bacton, Norfolk 40 years innovation and opportunity Specialist knowledge Geosciences | Shallow Water | Satellite O&M | Mature Asset Management

Civil Nuclear Power Nuclear power generation in the East of England is not a new concept. New nuclear power in the region is worth in excess of £10bn over the coming years 2 Decommissioning sites at Sizewell A, Suffolk and Bradwell, Essex worth around £2bn Regional strengths in planning, construction, civil engineering and operations/maintenance. Transferable engineering skills. At the time Sizewell B was being built it was the largest civil engineering project second only to the channel tunnel.

Offshore Wind Heart of world’s largest offshore wind market! Some 90GW+ to be developed, with investments more than £250bn 732 offshore turbines, already generating 2.52GW off region’s coast 75 under construction, and 506 approved which will generate a further 2.2GW 45GW+ in planning/approved for development 10,000’s turbines to be installed UK’s largest economic opportunities Source: Renewable UK WED, June 2013
