Business, Innovation & Skills Offshore Wind Industrial Strategy Industrial Strategy: government and industry in partnership Richard Hall 18 February 2014 www.gov.uk/bis/industrial-strategy [email protected] #ind strategy What drives UK energy policy? Cost, Carbon, EU targets, and security of supply • • • • • • • • 1991: Cost is the priority Liberalisation of the market Focus on efficiency to cut costs Electricity as a commodity Flexible, low-capital gas generation Cost Tax impact Consumer bills 2000s: Strong push on Carbon Cross subsidies & ring fences added for renewable energy – also driven by EU politics Subsidies later varied by technology 2006: Security back on the agenda •Gas prices fluctuate a lot – but the underlying trend is an increase. •UK is a net importer Cost Tax impact Consumer bills Cost Tax impact Consumer bills00 & Carbon Carbon budgets Renewable target Carbon & Carbon budgets Renewable target Security & Diversity Resilience Our main renewable resource is wind 40 % of Europe’s wind The First UK offshore wind farm 4MW (2x 2MW) 2000 The largest UK offshore wind farm 630MW (175x 3.6MW) 2013 Industrial Strategy: creating growth, delivering jobs – Top priority: industrial strategy is a top priority for the UK Government – Long-term: industrial strategy is a long-term, whole-ofGovernment approach to support economic growth – Sector partnerships are key: focusing on sectors where Government and business, working together, can make the most difference – Offshore wind: one of eleven sector partnerships, a strong signal of Government commitment to the sector Offshore Wind Industrial Strategy: published on 1 August 2013 Why an industrial strategy for offshore wind? 1. Offshore wind is a growing sector – The offshore wind sector has large potential for growth, with the UK developing more offshore wind than any other country. – Government retains a high level of ambition for the sector and expects to see high levels of deployment in future. – 4 December announcement on strike prices and CfD contract terms gives energy investors a sound, sustainable, long-term basis to invest in renewable electricity generation. Why an industrial strategy for offshore wind? 2. That growth presents an industrial opportunity – There is potential to develop a thriving supply chain in the UK, delivering jobs and economic growth. – Over 6,000 people are employed currently in the UK in the sector. – In 2020, under a strong growth scenario, the sector could deliver in the order of £7bn Gross Value Added (GVA) to the UK economy and support 30,000 jobs. Why an industrial strategy for offshore wind? 3. The UK needs to grasp that industrial opportunity – Government is determined to turn investment in offshore wind into UK jobs, by delivering greater opportunities for a competitive, UK-based supply chain, enabling higher levels of UK content in our offshore wind farms. – The offshore wind industrial strategy therefore aims to open up opportunities to the UK supply chain and increase its competitiveness in order to support the twin objectives of reducing the cost of energy and maximising economic benefit. Offshore wind in pictures (as of August 2013) Offshore wind industrial strategy: partnership across Government & Industry Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC) – provides leadership and oversees delivery of the offshore wind industrial strategy – involves developers, supply chain, Government and The Crown Estate Offshore Wind Programme Board (OWPB) – implements key industrial strategy actions, alongside its work on cost reduction, reporting to OWIC – OWPB workstreams cover: supply chain; skills; technology & innovation; contracting; planning & consenting; grid & transmission; finance; operations & maintenance Offshore wind industrial strategy: the vision Industry and Government working together to build a competitive and innovative UK supply chain that delivers and sustains jobs, exports and economic benefits for the UK, supporting offshore wind as a core and cost-effective part of the UK’s long-term electricity mix. The vision is to deliver: - economic growth creating tens of thousands of long term jobs - a clear and sustainable project pipeline - major manufacturing facilities in the UK - the development of a competitive UK-based supply chain - a technology cost-competitive with other low carbon technologies Vision delivered through work in five areas The offshore wind industrial strategy, published on 1st August, sets out a programme of actions in five areas: 1. Providing market confidence and demand visibility – critical for investment by developers and the supply chain 2. Building a competitive supply chain – to support UK based companies to develop the capability and capacity to bid for, and win, contracts in open and fair competition 3. Supporting innovation – vital to achieve cost reduction and enable new players to enter the market with new product designs 4. Finance – support to access finance for developers and the supply chain 5. Building a highly skilled workforce – to deliver the right skills at the right time 1. Providing market confidence and demand visibility Long term market confidence is critical for investment by developers and the supply chain. • Electricity Market Reform – Introducing the Contract for Difference (CfD) to stimulate investment in low carbon generation by providing generators with long term price certainty – Government is proposing that, for projects of 300MW or above, the generator will have to prepare a supply chain plan for approval from the Secretary of State before making an application for a CfD • Project timelines – Developers are providing information on their project timelines and participating in share fairs to increase visibility of opportunities for the supply chain EMR: Supply Chain Plans • New policy to support the long term economic growth and viability of the low carbon energy supply chain, in particular to foster innovation, competition and support the development of skills. This will drive down the cost of low carbon generation over the long term and result in lower energy costs to consumers. • The Supply Chain Plan Consultation was launched on 25th November, and closes on 24th December, as an addendum to the EMR Consultation on Proposals for Implementation. It stated the intention to require developers to submit Supply Chain Plans. • Projects above 300MW capacity will need to submit a Supply Chain Plan, and have it approved, to be eligible to enter the allocation process for a CfD. • Plans will be assessed by Government and must demonstrate sufficient action is being taken, or will be taken, to support supply chain development. • Developers will then submit the letter certifying that their Supply Chain Plan has been approved to National Grid when applying for a CfD. • Government intends to publish draft guidance in spring 2014, to allow companies to develop their plans. The regulations are expected to come into force in summer 2014. Supply chain plans: proposed criteria Supply Chain Plans will be assessed against a set of criteria, with the following proposed: Skills • Whether a workforce is in place with the necessary skills to undertake and construct the project and, if not, what steps the developer will take to address this. • How the workforce’s skills will be maintained and developed for the construction and life of the project. Competition • How the project will encourage broader supply chains to increase competition and bring down costs. Innovation • Whether approaches have been taken or will be taken to deliver the project in a way that boosts innovation in the sector. We will aim to assess the Supply Chain Plans within 30 working days of receipt, although borderline cases may take longer. Companies may be asked to submit a post build report with information about how, and to what extent, the Supply Chain Plan was implemented, explaining the reason for any changes. 2. Building a competitive supply chain The strategy supports UK based companies to develop the capability and capacity to bid for, and win, contracts in open and fair competition, as well as promoting new inward investment in the UK supply chain. • GROW: Offshore Wind – a programme under the Manufacturing Advisory Service brand, with £20m funding, to develop the capability of potential supply chain companies located in England (with other support schemes available in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) • Offshore Wind Investment Organisation (OWIO) – UK Trade & Investment has established OWIO to support inward investment in the offshore wind supply chain in the UK 3. Supporting innovation Government provides significant support for innovation. Innovation is vital for achieving cost reduction and can also enable new players to enter the market with new product designs. • Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult – a technology and innovation centre receiving £46m funding from the Technology Strategy Board over its first five years of operation. • Test and demonstration – facilitating development of existing offshore test facilities – a new leasing programme run by The Crown Estate which invited expressions of interest for new offshore test sites (floating wind and variations to existing projects) 4. Finance The ability of companies to access reasonable cost finance is a key driver for building a competitive industry. • Green Investment Bank – using Government finance to co-invest with the private sector, to provide finance for construction of new wind farms and re-financing of operating wind farms – ambition to invest a significant proportion of its £3.8 billion capital in offshore wind • Business Bank – will address gaps in the supply of finance to small and mid-sized companies – will scope options for improving the affordability of bonds and guarantees which supply chain companies are required to provide 5. Building a highly skilled workforce Education and training programmes need to be able to deliver the right skills at the right time for the industry. • A skilled workforce – making the best use of existing skills funding and programmes available for the sector • A desirable career choice – promoting awareness of career opportunities in the sector For more information Visit: www.gov.uk/bis/industrial-strategy Read: Offshore Wind Industrial Strategy: Business and Government Action & Overview of Support for the Offshore Wind Industry Email: [email protected] or [email protected] (on industrial strategy) or [email protected] (on supply chain plans) In conclusion • Government continues to support offshore wind through: – developing Contracts for Difference under Electricity Market Reform, with strike prices now announced – delivering the offshore wind industrial strategy – funding initiatives such as GROW: Offshore Wind and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult • The UK can develop a thriving supply chain, delivering jobs and economic growth • This needs action on many fronts, under the leadership of the Offshore Wind Industry Council Terry Hogg – Technology Commercialisation Steve Wyatt – Strategy & Commercial Director Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult Driving innovation and knowledge Technology & Innovation in Offshore Renewables Stephen Wyatt Strategy & Commercial Director Terry Hogg Technology Commercialisation Manager 18th Feb 2014 Catapults: A long-term vision for innovation & growth 37 • Established and overseen by the Technology Strategy Board. 7 • Catapult is a technology and innovation centre where the very best of the UK’s businesses, scientists and engineers can work side by side on research and development. • The Catapults programme represents over £1bn of private and public sector investment over the next few years. • Each Catapult focuses on an area which the government have already identified as strategically important in global terms. • They will open up global opportunities for the UK and generate sustained economic growth for the future. Catapults £1bn private and public sector investment UK’s offshore renewable energy opportunity • UK at forefront of offshore wind and marine development; we have ~3.7GW off offshore renewables installed - the most in the world, and the potential to derive 10 times this figure. • Offshore renewables presents a massive opportunity for the UK economy, we already employ c4000 full time employees • But this first-mover advantage will not last for long – we’re here to help the UK capitalise on the opportunity. 38 Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult Our Vision: Abundant, affordable energy from offshore wind, wave and tide • Identification, development and commercialisation of innovative technology • Driving collaboration between Government, industry and academia • Market access for SMEs and new technologies • Leveraged funding model (1:1:1) • Building a centre of deep technical expertise; a new approach to innovation funding 39 40 Senior management team Chairman Colin Hood CEO Andrew Jamieson Innovation Strategy & Innovation & Technical Programmes Director Commercialisation Director Chris Hill Director TBC Stephen Wyatt Head of Communications Charles Thompson • Developing deep technical expertise to meet ambitious programme • Influential Board with extensive industrial, academic, political and financial experience Business Services Director David Currie Extending the technology reach: Collaboration & Partnership Industry Advisory Group Chair: SSE Reacting to industry need Research Advisory Group Chair: Edinburgh University Access to best research and facilities Partnerships and strategic alliances 41 We are establishing a set of interlinked activities to engage with industry and academia Activity strand Knowledge creation Strategic programmes Building our capability, scoping work and influencing the agenda Convening industry and delivering Innovation in the right areas Bespoke services Reacting to industry's individual requirements SME offer Helping SMES commercialise faster Reactive projects Remaining flexible and open minded Working with testing assets Management of strategic pieces of testing and R&D infrastructure Our knowledge creation will often lead to new strategic projects With time our experience will help us develop deep technical expertise Our bespoke services offer may sit well alongside owners and operators of key testing infrastructure Coordination and facilitation to the UK testing landscape We think about our “customers” in 3 distinct groups Operational Assets Initial balance?: 40% Construction projects Next Generation 40% 20% • We are likely to get most immediate traction from “operational assets”, but perhaps greatest impact on costs with a longer term lens. In prioritising our technologies we need to balance a number of factors and create a balanced portfolio • We “only” have £10m core budget. • We need to leverage our TSB funding with Industry and other public funding: 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 across our full portfolio of activity. Our technology priorities are driven by UK benefit and reducing the cost of energy from offshore renewables • We have used Taxonomy which is common with the TCE pathways work and TINA to help with industry alignment and to draw on what has been done already. • Key drivers for the Catapult are UK benefit and reduction on LCOE. • Where the Catapult can add most value must be taken into account.
