EDF Renewables to Develop Garn Fach Wind Farm in Powys

EDF Renewables announced plans to develop a wind farm called Garn Fach, south of Newtown, Powys, in partnership with 14 local farming families. The project is likely to consist of up to 22 turbines, each producing around 5 MW. That’s 110MW capable of generating enough low carbon electricity for the domestic needs of 66,000 households. Ahead of submitting a planning application for the wind farm at the end of 2020, EDF R has been carrying out ecological and other feasibility surveys. EDF R is submitting an environmental scoping report to the Welsh Government and an application to Powys County Council to erect a met mast on site to gather accurate wind speed data.

EDF R is committed to an annual community benefit fund for Garn Fach of £5,000 per MW, which could be around £550,000 (depending on the final capacity of the project) per year available for local causes, or £16.5 million over the 30-year lifetime of the project. The wind farm will also have the potential for local ownership, with opportunities for local people and organisations to invest and have a stake in the project.

This proposed investment from EDF Renewables comes at a time of growing concern about climate change which has prompted both the UK and Welsh Governments to embrace tougher targets for carbon emissions reduction by 2050. The Welsh Government has a target for Wales to be generating 70% of its electricity consumption from renewables by 2030. To achieve this, more electricity will need to be generated from renewable and low carbon sources.

Onshore wind is now one of the cheapest ways of generating renewable or low carbon energy, and Garn Fach will be developed without the need for public subsidy.

Vestas verdient meer aan beheer windmolens

Gepubliceerd op 5 februari 2020 10:37 | Views: 392

KOPENHAGEN (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - De Deense windmolenproducent Vestas houdt minder over aan de verkoop van windturbines, maar verdient steeds meer aan het beheer hiervan. Daarom verwacht het bedrijf dit jaar een hogere omzet te draaien dan analisten eerder inschatten.

Vestas draaide in 2019 een omzet van ruim 12 miljard euro, bijna 20 procent meer dan een jaar eerder. De windmolenproducent verwacht dat de omzet dit jaar doorgroeit naar 15 miljard euro.

Vestas haalde vorig jaar meer opdrachten binnen om windmolens te bouwen dan concurrenten Siemens Gamesa en General Electric. Maar de winstmarges op de molens staan onder druk. Grondstoffen zijn duurder geworden door de handelsoorlog tussen de Verenigde Staten en China. Ook de prijzen van windturbines staan onder druk. Dat komt door de manier waarop overheden opdrachten aanbieden op veilingen. Maar de dienstentak van Vestas breidt snel uit. Het bedrijf beheert en onderhoudt windmolens en kan hier hogere marges op rekenen. De winst van het bedrijf was ook hoger dan analisten van tevoren dachten, 1 miljard euro.

Van Oord Starts Cooperation on Estonian Offshore Wind Development

Van Oord and Saare Wind Energy have agreed to combine their forces and mutually develop the Saaremaa offshore wind farm. Saare Wind Energy is an Estonian developer involved in developing the offshore wind farm, covering 154 square kilometres, south-west of the Estonian island Saaremaa.
Development Estonian offshore wind

Saare Wind Energy started the development of the project in 2015 on basis of a thorough analysis and ample spatial planning experiences. The next phase in the development process includes the start of the Environmental Impact Assessment which will be initiated after receiving a positive decision from the Estonian authorities. Van Oord is an experienced offshore wind contractor from the Netherlands and, in addition to the construction of offshore wind farms, has been involved in several early developments. The parties are convinced that the combined knowledge base will facilitate a successful development of the project. The discussions that lead to the agreement were supported by the Estonian Investment Agency, which demonstrates the commitment of the Estonian authorities with respect to renewable developments.
Saaremaa site

The Saaremaa site offers an excellent opportunity for the construction of an offshore wind farm because of its location in the Baltic Sea in relation to the main wind direction. The offshore wind farm can act as a foothold for the development of an international Baltic Grid. The Saaremaa offshore wind farm is one of the parks under development in Estonia. Van Oord and Saare Wind Energy look forward to intensifying the cooperation with local and national Estonian stakeholders as this is a precondition for the upcoming permit process and the subsequent construction of the project.

Windsector vreest kostenstijging op Noordzee

De Nederlandse windenergiesector vreest dat het Onderhandelaarsakkoord voor de Noordzee tot kostenstijgingen voor de sector zal leiden. In dat maandag in Den Haag gepresenteerde akkoord hebben de belangrijkste belangengroepen voor de Noordzee (energie, visserij, natuur) een groot aantal afspraken gemaakt over het toekomstig gebruik van de Nederlandse Noordzee.

Die afspraken zijn nodig omdat er in het kader van het Klimaatakkoord de komende decennia duizenden windmolens moeten worden gebouwd in het drukke Nederlandse deel van de Noordzee.

Verzestigvoudiging
Op dit moment staan er nog 'slechts' een paar honderd molens in het Nederlandse deel van de Noordzee, met een gezamenlijk vermogen van iets minder dan 1 gigawatt. Zogenoemde routekaarten van het ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat laten een groei zien naar een totaal opgesteld vermogen aan windenergie van 11,5 gigawatt in 2030. Maar daarna begint de uitrol pas echt.

Om alleen al de EU-klimaatdoelstellingen te behalen, moet er in Europa ongeveer 230 gigawatt aan offshorewindenergievermogen worden ontwikkeld, waarvan 180 gigawatt in de Noordzee. Voor het Nederlandse deel komt dit neer op minimaal 60 gigawatt in 2050, een verzestigvoudiging ten opzichte van nu. ‘Het zal betekenen dat ruim 20% van het Nederlandse deel van de Noordzee verandert in een windpark’, zei Floris van Hest, directeur van Stichting Noordzee, waarin verschillende natuurorganisaties en bedrijven samenwerken vorig jaar in het FD. Nu is dat nog 0,2%.

Achterban niet zomaar akkoord
Dat leidt tot spanning. Onderhandelaars van alle partijen zetten weliswaar hun handtekening onder dit voorlopige akkoord, maar het is nog allerminst gezegd dat ook elke achterban het akkoord zal steunen.

Zo stelt het Kabinet via een Transitiefonds €200 mln beschikbaar voor de uitvoering van het zogenoemde Noordzeeakkoord. Het grootste deel daarvan, €119 mln, is bedoeld om vissers die stoppen te compenseren, en nog actieve vissers te helpen met verduurzamen en innoveren. Of de achterban van de visbranche daarmee akkoord zal gaan, is echter nog maar de vraag. De sector gaf eerder aan 'honderden miljoenen' te willen voor de transitie.

Ook de windsector zette zijn handtekening, maar Hans Timmers, voorzitter van de Nederlandse Windenergie Associatie, zei wel dat er in zijn achterban verschillend wordt gekeken naar het bereikte onderhandelingsakkoord. 'Het klimaatakkoord vraagt om snelheid en om kostenverlagingen, maar het meervoudig gebruik van delen van de Noordzee kan leiden tot kostenstijgingen', aldus Timmers.

Zo wordt op verzoek van de visserij onderzocht of de geplande ruimte voor windparken in het zuidelijk deel van de Noordzee, een belangrijk gebied voor de tongvisserij, niet open zouden kunnen blijven en eerder zou kunnen worden begonnen met de bouw van windparken in het noordelijk deel van de Noordzee. 'Dat kan de druk op de ecologische ruimte in het zuiden verminderen en relevante visgronden openhouden', aldus het akkoord.

Goed voor de natuur en de visserij, maar het kan ook kostenverhogend werken voor de windenergiesector, doordat parken mogelijk verder weg komen te liggen en dus duurder in aanleg worden. Ook andere nieuwe maatregelen om de natuur te beschermen en rekening te houden met de visserij kunnen de kosten verhogen. 'Mijn achterban heeft zorgen over de uitvoerbaarheid', zegt Timmers. Of windparken in de toekomst subsidievrij kunnen blijven weet hij dan ook niet.

De komende maanden gaan de onderhandelaars het voorstel voorleggen aan hun leden ter consultatie.
