1 Scottish Renewable Energy Infrastructure Plan Emerging Conclusions Euan Dobson 3 November 2009

2 Wind, Wave and Tidal Energy What? What? Infrastructure requirements - wave/tidal, offshore wind Where? Where? Process and first wave sites, approach for wave/ tidal releases How? How? A focused and aligned delivery approach With What? With What? Sourcing private and public sector investment Issues and opportunities Next steps

3 Scottish Government Renewables Action Plan - June 2009 Clear Spatial Framework Infrastructure dependencies - logistics, port operating regimes, planning/ consenting regimesProcess Informed dialogue - ongoing Bremerhaven and Stakeholder SessionDrivers Round 3, STW, Pentland Firth Other port uses - ferries review, cruise infrastructure review, multi-modal study DecommissioningOutputs Clear spatial framework - investment requirements - delivery approach - funding Renewables Infrastructure Plan - N-RIP

4 Round Three Sites in Scotland Moray and Cromarty Firths (expected 2-3GW) Forth and Tay Estuaries (3-5GW) Build start dates 2014/15 Scottish Territorial Waters Round (6.4 GW) 10 sites - 5 on the West Coast and 5 on the East Coast Expected to total 6.4GW Build start dates in 2013 Scotland’s Offshore Wind Opportunity R3 and STW

5 Ormonde Windfarms to be completed 2009/2010 Bard Offshore 1 Aberdeen 15GW 6GW 4GW 1.5GW 2.5GW 40GW North Europe Offshore Wind 2020 Windfarms planning to use 5MW Turbines

6 Scotland has over 70% of the UK’s tidal power which has been estimated at 13 billion kilowatt hours per annum Scotland’s position at the end of a long Atlantic Ocean fetch produces tremendously energetic waves Scotland’s Wave and Tidal Resources

7 Offshore Wind Implementation “now” - next 12 months key Large structures Large developers and licence holders Need for fast forward strategy Wave v Wave/Tidal Different Stage:Different Infrastructure

8 Wave and Tidal Testing Phase - 700mw by 2020 - Pentland Firth first… Devices - Wright Brothers, Boeing 737 (EMEC) Infrastructure to anchor test sites… to entice development, early manufacturing… North first..... South West Scotland, Western Isles follow Staged/phased infrastructure investment Pentland Firth “Triangle” - Lyness, Scrabster, Wick “Provisional Preferred Bidder” discussions as part of N-RIP “Provisional Preferred Bidder” discussions as part of N-RIP Increasing Pace - Aquamarine/SDI enquiries/Crown Estate Wave v Wave/Tidal Different Stage:Different Infrastructure

10 Offshore Wind

11 Fife Energy Park Operation & Maintenance Bremerhaven Installation ProcessesBelfast Different needs/roles:- - Construction - Manufacturing single or distributed sites - O & M Over 3,700 Offshore Turbines by 2020 within reach of Scottish sites Infrastructure Challenges for Scotland

12 Offshore Wind - Assessing Opportunities Assessment Approach Proximity to Generation Potential Infrastructure at Site Locational Factors Timescale to Readiness

13 Where is the Wind? North West East

14 Future Needs and Locations Indicative map of locational requirements Based on strong growth of industry supply chain Industry will drive use Need alignment of Government and industry investment Triggered investment in a first wave of sites Triggered investment in a first wave of sites

15 Nigg and Ardersier - integrated manufacturing Arnish - wind and wave? Kishorn - construction/manufacturing - concrete? Dundee - manufacturing and O+M (role of Montrose) Hunterston - integrated manufacturing (role of Inverclyde and Stranraer/Cairnryan) Peterhead - distributed manufacturing and oil & gas decommissioning (Methil) - distributed manufacturing (Machrahanish) - build on current developments incrementally Wave/tidal - Pentland Firth Triangle Key Locations - First Wave

16 National purpose - New Energy Scotland Delivery Group:- –report to EAB –fastest, easiest, most supportive to innovation –small group –developers (FREDs OffWIND), port owners, SE/HIE, SDI, SRF –driven by N-RIP team Regional Delivery Alliances:- –Bremerhaven Lessons –SE/HIE to drive and support –Where - “wind regions” East Wind West Wind North wind – Delivery Approach

17 Issues Gap funding Anchoring economic benefits of testing locations Marine operations Where Next? - first mover advantage “No Regret” Investment - future uses Issues and Opportunities

18 Opportunities Installation methods and consortia floating/mobile infrastructure for remote locations - joint research and prototyping Local production Local operation and maintenance.... but supporting globalising companies and supply chains Issues and Opportunities

19 New Energy Scotland Delivery Group - convene early December Costed investment plans developed Installation - fastest location study Simplified support offering Tell Scotland’s new energy story Drive investment funding search (c.£250m indicative) Fast Forward Timescale

20 Industry demands - are there other infrastructure needs? Locations - does it seem right? Dependencies - what are the (other) critical foundations for success? Delivery alliances - is this the optimal approach? Funding infrastructure needs - sources of funding? Key Questions

21 Wind - Fast Forward Strategy - ready by 2012/13 Wave/tidal - staged but further dialogue with Pentland Firth testers First Wave Investment Strategy - triggered Delivery alliances - SE/HIE with ports and developers New Energy Scotland Delivery Group - increase momentum and ensure systematic approach Key Points - Summary
