  1. ORBISENERGY: THE HUB FOR OFFSHORE RENEWABLESJOHNATHAN REYNOLDS

  2. The energy / low carbon sector • Global market for low carbon sectors - £4.3 trillion • UK has the 6th largest market share • £107.3 billion • 52,263 companies active in the sectors • Employing 896,100 people • Suffolk’s profile: • £1.46 billion turnover per annum • 605 companies active in the sectors • Employing 9,700 people

  3. Policy Context • European 20/20/20 energy & climate change targets • 20% energy from renewables by 2020 • Reduction in carbon emissions of more than 20% • UK energy policy • delivering secure, affordable, low carbon energy • 15% primary energy from renewables by 2020 • Increasing UK content in energy projects, whilst reducing costs • UK economic policy • low carbon economic growth • Focus on high value growth sectors • localism / local enterprise partnerships

  4. UK Energy Roadmap • The growth potential in this sector is very substantial • EU targets – binding and non-negotiable • Increasing the rate of deployment to realise this potential will require substantial reduction in costs. • Need to overcome supply chain barriers to lower costs and deploy at scale for both 2020 and beyond.

  5. Suffolk’s Economic Priorities • The region is already a major generator and supplier of energy • East Anglia is at the centre of the world’s largest market for offshore wind energy, estimated at over 90GW across Europe, exceeding £250bn. • The Southern North Sea will be a major European hubfor large scale storage of gas and captured carbon (CCS), potentially generating billions for UK plc. • Nuclear power in the region is worth in excess of £10bn over the coming years

  6. Offshore Gas – Southern North Sea • UK’s second largest energy manufacturing and service base • Southern North SeaFirst area in UK for offshore gas • 150 SNS platforms, 2 interconnectors • 50+ coming through Bacton, Norfolk • 40 years innovation and opportunity • Specialist knowledge Geosciences | Shallow Water | Satellite O&M | Mature Asset Management

  7. Civil Nuclear Power • Nuclear power generation in the East of England is not a new concept. • New nuclear power in the region is worth in excess of £10bn over the coming years • 2 Decommissioning sites at Sizewell A, Suffolk and Bradwell, Essex worth around £2bn • Regional strengths in planning, construction, civil engineering and operations/maintenance. • Transferable engineering skills. • Sizewell B Impact: • 1000 regional companies • 5000 staff at peak construction • 750 full-time staff • £30m p.a. in the community • 67m tCO2e since coming online At the time Sizewell B was being built it was the largest civil engineering project second only to the channel tunnel.

  8. Offshore Wind • Heart of world’s largest offshore wind market! • Some 90GW+to be developed, with investments more than £250bn • 732 offshore turbines, already generating 2.52GW off region’s coast • 75under construction, and 506 approved which will generate a further 2.2GW • 45GW+in planning/approved for development • 10,000’s turbines to be installed • UK’s largest economic opportunities Source: Renewable UK WED, June 2013
