He also vowed to "keep pushing away" at securing Siemens' investment in the city, saying he "won't rest" until the "first foundations of the factory are laid.“Hull Daily Mail Monday 30th Sep
“GET REAL, the idea that we can move forward with this wind farm expansion, and have 80% of these installations manufactured abroad is simply not viable in the longer term” ReCharge 13th September

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
The UK’s best renewable opportunity?

Cost reduction and local jobs
Wind costs have fallen 45% each decadeWe need to go fasterAs well as separate manufacturers’ initiatives there is a UK Government & industry wide approachJune 2012 Crown Estate Offshore Wind PathwaysJune 2012 DECC Offshore Wind Taskforce
Cost of energy can reduce 1/3 by 2020Subject 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*The energy challenge – New Infrastructure DECC You Tube

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
