Schemes of over 50MW capacity - even if they would only produce a fraction of this amount in operation - are submitted to for determination by a 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 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 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 an inspector's recommendation.
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').
‘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).
‘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 English government has recently 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; hearing to publically examine the application in a quasi-judicial hearing before a Planning Inspector (‘Reporter’ in Scotland).
‘Status unclear’ = lapsed, withdrawn, not proceeding etc.
‘LF’ = Load Factor: percentage of headline capacity produced by turbine(s), averaged over a year.
‘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. 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.
Title colours match application status: orange - scoping/pre-planning; red - in planning (applied/appealed); green - approved; black - operating; grey - refused, withdrawn, lapsed etc.
