SMALL AND EMBEDDED TURBINES

We attempt to list all turbines over 30m (100 ft), but this is becoming increasingly difficult.

This is due to the numbers of applications coming forward, fuelled by the very large subsidies paid under the Feed-in Tariff system of subsidies, which are paid from electricity bills.

Many of these applications are not advertised and are often quickly decided by a planning officer under delegated powers, rather than by a democratically accountable planning committee. Many are now decided without an Environmental Impact Assessment.

INTRODUCTION


SIZE

Small/domestic turbines up to c. 30.5m (100 ft) in height are not recorded.

POWER OUTPUT

Some output and load factor figures taken from Ofgem’s data are now included. Companies declare output in order to claim tradeable Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROC’s). Lack of figures for a particular year indicates that a full year’s production did not take place. This data is published in more accessible form by REF as a PDF download. (See 'UK Renewable Energy Data').

CAPACITY/LOAD FACTORS

Total Installed Generating Capacity (TIGC) is given; this is the amount of power the scheme could theoretically generate at peak.

The intermittent nature of wind power means that the actual load factor (aka ‘capacity factor’), or percentage of headline capacity produced, averaged over a year, can be anything between 8% and 40% of the headline figure, depending on the wind resource on site. The wind industry likes to claim that onshore wind turbine arrays usually have a load/capacity factor of 30%; our regional planners assume a figure of 29/30%. The March 2006 issue of ‘Energy Trends’, produced by the Department of Trade and Industry, has a table for onshore wind farms in the UK produced from actual production figures. This table shows that the North East has the lowest recorded load factor in the country: for 2003 the figure was 19%; for 2004 the figure was 21%. The average for 1998-2004 was 21%.

‘SECTION 36’ APPLICATIONS

Schemes of 50MW capacity or over - even if they would only produce a fraction of this amount in operation - are determined by a government Minister according to Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 (or the equivalent Section 57 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997). This was originally intended as a mechanism for major projects that were considered to be in the national interest. It is questionable whether it was intended as a mechanism for developers to try and sideline the local democratic planning process with wind power projects having a theoretical maximum capacity of just over 50MW, and which would produce as little as 20% to 30% of that headline capacity in operation.

Some developers regard Section 36 applications as standing more chance - they are, after all, being decided by a Minister who is also responsible for implementing current energy policy - than would smaller schemes with local planners who are more inclined to reflect the concerns of their local communities and the local economy. A public inquiry can be triggered by the formal objection of a local planning authority, but the developers know very well that cash-strapped local authorities and poorly funded community groups are then forced to find large sums of money in order to secure legal representation. At the end of the day, the Secretary of State can, but seldom does, override the inspector’s recommendation.

GLOSSARY

Scoping’ = site investigation, pre-application consultation with planning authority (may involve application to erect an anemometer mast for recording wind speeds, not required by the planning process but needed when raising finance).
Proposal of Application Notice (PAN)’ = the Scottish Government has introduced regulations requiring 12 weeks of pre-application [public] consultation (PAC) before lodging a major planning application. A PAN starts the clock on this process.
Live Application’ = planning application submitted.
Appealed’ = proposals may be appealed by the applicant after refusal or for ‘non-determination’, when the applicant decides to trigger an appeal because the local planning authority has not determined the application within the prescribed time period (normally 12 weeks). Objectors have no right of appeal if a decision is approved, they can only seek to overturn the decision by going to the High Court (in England) to seek a judicial review of the decision on procedural grounds. This rarely succeeds and can be ruinously expensive if costs are awarded to the company.
Called in/Recovered’ = decision removed from a Planning Inspector to the Secretary of State, or Scottish equivalent. There are a number of reasons set out for this action, the last English government started recovering decisions because, “the appeal involves proposals of major significance for the delivery of the Government's climate change programme and energy policies.”
PI’ = Public Inquiry; quasi-judicial hearing to examine the application before a Planning Inspector (‘Reporter’ in Scotland). For Section 36 schemes, an objection from the LPA is needed to trigger a PI.
Status unclear’ = lapsed, withdrawn, not proceeding etc.
LF’ = Load Factor: percentage of headline capacity produced by turbine(s), averaged over a year.
LPA’ = Local Planning Authority.
NYD’ = Not yet determined.
TIGC’ = Total Installed Generating Capacity.

Rejected and lapsed/withdrawn proposals are included below because, even after failure at appeal, they can reappear as slightly adjusted re-submissions. Wind developers are notoriously unwilling to take no for an answer when they have spent some money in working up a proposal. These sites also indicate areas of developer interest.

Title colours match application status: orange - scoping/pre-planning; red - in planning (applied/appealed); green - approved; black - operating; grey - refused, withdrawn, lapsed etc.; a blue background signifies offshore schemes which are not counted in regional capacity targets.
