Metadata: 2021, Womble Bond Dickinson, Offshore Wind Evidence and Change Programme (OWEC), Headroom in Cumulative Offshore Windfarm Impacts for Seabirds
Abstract:
In December 2020, the government released its Energy White Paper, 'Powering our net zero future'. The transition to low carbon transport and heat to meet net zero means electricity demand could double by 2050. This explains why clean electricity is the bedrock to decarbonisation, and a key enabler to grow the economy and level up the country. To deliver on the commitment of 40GW by 2030, a sustainable approach to the development of offshore wind is needed. The Crown Estate's Offshore Wind Evidence and Change Programme -together with its programme partners, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) - is facilitating the sustainable and coordinated expansion of offshore wind whilst supporting clean, healthy, productive and biologically diverse seas by bringing together key stakeholders across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to gather and share evidence. This project seeks to identify potential solutions to legally securing the as-built parameters of offshore windfarms to facilitate better assessment of the cumulative impacts of offshore wind. To realise the potential momentum generated by this report, it is vital that organisations with policy or regulatory authority take account of the outcomes by considering and, if appropriate, implementing the series of tangible recommendations contained herein.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | There had originally been two proposals for workshops on the headroom issue with similar aims รข?? one put forward by Natural England and the other by RenewableUK Offshore Consents and Licensing Group. A group chaired by The Crown Estate (TCE) agreed a combined scope and approach, which was then circulated and approved by The Crown Estate, Crown Estate Scotland, Natural England and RenewableUK. The agreed scope for the workshops included specific consideration being given to the lawfulness of re-calculating effects using recent data and analysis methods, and/or density data obtained from sources other than the original characterisation surveys, rather than simply re-running the original calculations with the as-built parameters. In many cases, as-built parameters are not available to inform updated assessments and there is no current consensus on how assessments can be undertaken without this information. However, this is being considered separately as part of the Cumulative Effects Framework (CEF) project. CEF is developing a tool for the assessment of cumulative effects for key receptors using a consistent and transparent approach to the collation and analysis of the best available data. As a result, the workshops and this report do not address how assessments could be re-calculated using as-built parameters, and only consider the question of whether as-built parameters can be legally secured. Through their Offshore Wind Evidence and Change Programme, TCE arranged, funded and hosted two workshops held in January 2021 and February 2021, which were chaired and facilitated by DTA Ecology. GoBe Consultants recorded views expressed during the workshops, which were supplemented by responses to a short questionnaire issued to participants by TCE between the two workshops. The first workshop was informed by a discussion paper, drafted by Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP, which presented the issue, identified the legislative background and differing consenting regimes, and offered some potential solutions. Whilst the purpose of the discussion paper was only to inform discussion, its contents are reflected in this report where relevant. At the first workshop, the key differences in approach between regulators across jurisdictions, and the reasons for this, were discussed by participants. The second workshop focused on potential solutions and recommendations in order to address the issues identified in the first workshop. Workshops were attended by regulators, industry members and other relevant stakeholders. A full list of participants can be found at Appendix A. This report was subsequently authored by Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP. |
