Schemes of over 50MW capacity - even if they would only produce a fraction of this amount in operation - are submitted to DBERR (DTI) or Scottish Executive for determination according to Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. This was originally intended AS a planning mechanism for major projects that were considered to be in the national interest. It is questionable whether this was intended as a mechanism for developers to sideline the local 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 headline capacity in operation.
Some developers regard Section 36 applications as standing more chance with the DBERR - that is also responsible for originating and implementing the 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 rural economy. A public inquiry can be triggered by the formal objection of a local authority, but the developers know very well that poorly resourced local response 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, and does, override the inspector's findings if so minded.
Peak theoretical capacity figures are given for turbines and sites. The intermittent nature of wind power means that the capacity or load factor of wind turbines can be anything between 8% and 40% of the headline figure, depending on the wind resource on site. The BWEA likes to claim that onshore wind turbine arrays usually have a 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 of capacity, or load, factors 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%.
We are now including some output and load factor figures taken from Ofgem's data (lack of figures signals 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').
'Live Application' = planning application submitted to planning authority.
'Load Factor' = percentage of headline capacity produced by turbine(s), measured over a year.
'NYD' = Not yet determined.
'Proposal' = scheme in 'consultation' phase prior to submission of planning application.
'PI' = Public Inquiry.
'Scoping' = site investigation, often including erection of anemometer mast for recording wind speeds, prior to announcement of a proposal.
'Status unclear' = 'lapsed', 'withdrawn', 'not proceeding' etc.
Some rejected proposals are included below because, even after failure on appeal, they can reappear as slightly adjusted re-submissions. Some developers are notoriousy 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.
