with this wind farm expansion, and have 80% of
these installations manufactured abroad is simply
not viable in the longer term”

UK has world’s biggest offshore wind pipeline ≈50% of EU total
Q2 2013 15.5% UK electricity came from renewables and 7.5%
from wind **
18,000 UK jobs now and 70,000 by 2023 ***

Cost reduction and local jobs
Wind costs have fallen 45% each decade
We need to go faster
As well as separate manufacturers’ initiatives there is a UK
Government & industry wide approach
June 2012 Crown Estate Offshore Wind Pathways
June 2012 DECC Offshore Wind Taskforce
Cost of energy can reduce 1/3 by 2020
Subject to rate of deployment
Oct 2012 DECC Offshore wind Programme Board – treat
this like a business project

UK Policy – Energy Bill, EMR Delivery Plan,
Industry Strategy
The UK must spend c£110Bn on replacement electricity generation
in the next decade*
Energy Market Review aims to reduce investor risk so this can be
borrowed at the lowest cost
Government doesn’t want to pick winners and is sending some
mixed messages
100gCO2/kWh central scenario:
45-55% low carbon by 2030, a mix of
• Carbon capture and storage
• Nuclear
• Offshore wind
“The market will decide”
But 200gCO2/kWh scenario implies wind industry stops in 2020
