1 Marine Energy industry in Scotland April 2013

2 Policy- Government Targets Scottish Targets 50% of electricity demand to be met by Renewables by % of Scottish demand by 2020 Currently at 39% 30% of Primary Energy from Renewables by 2020 Emission reduction target of 42% by % by 2050 UK Targets 30% power from Renewable by 2020 Currently at 8% (2011 estimate) 15% of Primary Energy by 2020 Kyoto target 80% emission reduction by 2050 Scotland to be a powerhouse of Renewable Energy Alex Salmond, First Minister Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said he wants the coalition administration to be "the greenest government ever".

3 100% Renewable Electricity Equivalence Target 25% of 35TWh 100% of 37TWh 2010 Annual demand = 35TWh 2020 Annual demand = 37TWh* Losses and Exports i.e. 13TWh Losses and Exports i.e. 17.5TWh *Estimated

4 UK s Wave and Tidal Resource Scotland s position at the end of a long Atlantic Ocean fetch produces tremendously energetic waves The UK has 40% of Europe s tidal power which has been estimated at 13 billion kw hours per annum. Scotland has the bulk of this resource with 25% of the European total

5 Enabling the Marine Energy Industry 2004 Marine Energy Group (MEG) Joint Government and industry body tasked with making recommendations to take forward and accelerate the Marine Energy sector in Scotland 2004 Marine Energy Roadmap 2007 Marine Scotland publishes a full Strategic Environmental Report (SEA) for Scottish Waters 2009 Marine Energy Roadmap (updated) 2010 Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters Leasing Round 1 -World s first commercial wave and tidal energy project leases 2011 Marine Scotland publish final Regional Locational Guidance report for marine energy developers 2011, April The first of the Saltire Prize lease sites consisting of 4 projects of up to 30MW each, 2 wave and 2 tidal 2011 October, 6 further marine energy sites leased for 30MW Saltire Prize project sites, 2 wave and 4 tidal 2013 A further Saltire 30MW lease to Scotrenewables in Orkney

6 Scottish Government Support 2006 Wave and Tidal Energy Support (WATES) - 13m capital grant scheme 2007 Marine Support Obligation (MSO) - Enhanced revenue stream for wave and tidal generation 2008 Saltire Prize A 10m challenge prize to the first company to generate 100GWh from a wave or tidal energy project in Scotland 2009 Banded Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCS) for wave and tidal projects replaced the MSO 5 ROCs per MWh for wave ( 250/MWh) 3 ROCs per MWh for tidal ( 150/MWh) 2010 Wave and Tidal Energy Research, Development and Demonstration Support Scheme (WATERS) - 13m capital grant 2011 Marine Energy Array Deployment Fund - 18m capital grant 2013 A further capital grant scheme to be introduced by the Scottish Government in the summer

7 European Marine Energy Centre Full Scale Wave Site 6 Wave Berths World s only grid connected wave and tidal test centre 5 deep water wave berths and one near shore at Billia Croo Based in Orkney, Scotland Wave test site is UKAS certified Orkney Islands Full Scale Tidal Site 8 Tidal Berths Open sea, grid connected 8 x 11kv, 5MW subsea cables Water depth from 12m to 50m Independent controls for each cable 33kv substation at Eday housing switchgear, backup generator and communications equipment The nearby Pentland Firth is the largest tidal resource in Europe

8 EMEC's European Customer Base EMEC has already attracted international companies to its test sites and now has major companies from across Europe testing wave and tidal devices at its two sites Wave energy device companies 3 major utility companies, E.On (Germany), ScottishPower/Iberdrola (Spain) and Vattenfall (Sweden). Device developer Wello Oy from Finland Tidal device companies OpenHydro (France, Alstom), TGL (France, Alstom), Voith Hydro Ocean Current Technologies (Germany), Andritz Hydro Hammerfest (Austria) and Atlantis Resources Corp (Singapore) with two others still to arrive, Kawasaki Heavy Industries (Japan) and Bluewater Energy Services (Netherlands) Scottish tidal company Scotrenewables has Fred Olsen (Norway), ABB (Switzerland) and Total (France) as major investors. Wave company AWS Ocean Energy has Alstom (France) as its major shareholder

9 European Test Infrastructure Despite the expansion of the European test and demonstration centres over the last 10 years EMEC, in Scotland, currently has more devices on test than the other sites put together While this is good for EMEC and Scotland it does not reflect the recent shift in ownership, and hence political attention, that the industry is now undergoing.

10 Future Wave Array Projects Aegir Project, Shetland, Scotland Aegir Energy (JV between Vattenfall UK and Pelamis Wave Power) have secured a lease option for a 10MW wave project on Shetland Galson Project West of Lewis Aegir Project Galson Wave Project, Isle of Lewis, Western Isles, Scotland Aquamarine Power have secured a lease option for a 10MW project. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) scoping report was submitted to Marine Scotland in May 2011 West of Lewis Wave Project - Aquamarine Power have also secured a lease option for a 30MW project. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) scoping report was submitted to Marine Scotland in May 2011

11 Future Tidal Array Projects Islay Tidal Array, Scotland Utility company, Scottish Power, will build a 10MW array of tidal turbines supplied by Hammerfest Strom. Consisting of 10 x 1MW machines which will be manufactured and assembled in Scotland. Grid connected in (received 17m from European Comission funding). Kyle Rhea, near Skye, Scotland an array of 4 tidal machines by Bristol based company Marine Current Turbines with a total of installed capacity of 8MW by 2015 (received 15m from European Comission funding) Kyle Rhea Islay Array Islay Tidal Park Mull of Kintyre Array Mull of Kintyre, Argyll, Scotland an array of up to 6 Nautricity 500kw tidal turbines will be deployed by Argyll Tidal by 2015 Islay Tidal Park, Scotland DP Marine Energy are developing a 30MW tidal array project 6km off the coast of the Island of Islay. Technology supplier yet to be announced

13 Summary The marine energy industry in the UK is emerging from its early technology development phase and is now moving into the testing of full scale precommercial machines The industry is already developing sites for small arrays with a wave and tidal project in place by 2014 (Aquamarine Power at EMEC and Scottish Power s tidal array at Islay) Marine Energy companies are already involved in plans for scaling up production of wave and tidal devices and are looking at cost reduction through supply chain management and mass production. Recent shift in ownership with major investment/acquisition by European industrial players, including French Alstom and DCNS Importance to create a market of scale in Europe that will justify investment from industrial players and lower cost of energy
