  3. The UK’s best renewable opportunity? UK 51 GW DE 37 GW F 6 GWNL 5.9 GWDK 5.4 GW ES 6.8 GW ROI 4.2 GW FIN 4.5 GWBE 2.3 GW IT 2.8 GWPOL 8.3 GW GR 4.4 GW 16 EWEA figures from Feb 2013 Europe’s offshore wind plans • UK now has more Offshore Wind than RoW put together 1,075 wind turbines, 3.65GW * • 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 *** • * Renewable UK data ** Department of Energy and Climate Change “Energy Trends” • ***Renewable UK wind, wave and tidal sector Sea Installer with Siemens 6MW wind turbine at Gunfleet Sands, Feb 2013 Matthew Knight, Siemens Energy

  4. 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 MV Resolution installing a Siemens 3.6MW wind turbine at London Array Matthew Knight, Siemens Energy

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 • *The energy challenge – New Infrastructure DECC You Tube London Array, April 2013 Matthew Knight, Siemens Energy

  9. What’s in the Industry Strategy Notes the importance of scale to attract investment andreduce cost.. ..then never refers to it again. • Assigns lead roles • Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult - co-ordinating technology innovation • GROW Offshore Wind service – £20m funding for MAS to help SMEs enter the industry • Offshore Wind Investment Organisation – help inward investment • NORSTEC – public communication of benefits • Renewable UK – publish timeline for projects • OW Programme Board – manage the industry’s cost reduction effort • OW Industry Council – chaired by minister oversees all the above • Businesses will invest when they believe there is a market Stanislav Yudin lifting one of 2 Siemens built 2,000 tonne offshore substations into place at Gwynt y Mor Matthew Knight, Siemens Energy
