smart smart grid solutions
Your solution partner for smart Smart Grid enabling technology “We chose Locamation’s SASensor technology as it provided many advantages over traditional substation protection solutions. Both capital and operational expenditure costs are reduced. At the same time the remote monitoring facilities and the flexibility of the substation’s protection and control systems are improved. This allows SSE to operate a more dynamic and efficient network that benefits all customers.”
“Locamation provided us increased understanding and control of network condition whilst preparing for a low carbon economy” Scottish & Southern Energy

Foreword
Foreword Clean Energy Pipeline
Douglas Lloyd Founder & CEO Clean Energy Pipeline
I have just returned from a sobering trip to Germany where the mood wasn’t exactly bleak but it certainly didn’t seem upbeat either. Imminent changes to the Renewable Energy Act are threatening Germany’s status as Europe’s leading destination for renewables. The undoubted beneficiary should be the United Kingdom. In a recent survey we conducted earlier this year we asked the industry where they wanted to invest globally and in which countries they were most likely to acquire assets. As usual the USA was ranked in first place but more importantly, given the focus of this guide, the UK leapt into 2nd place. This is the highest rating the UK has achieved since we started running this survey in 2011. In parallel Germany fell from 2nd to 6th place, adding statistical weight to the downbeat vibe I experienced at our German Clean Energy event in late June. So there you have it, the World Cup may not have been a success but at least the United Kingdom is the leading country for Clean Energy in Europe. There are challenges, not least the government’s somewhat lukewarm commitment to the Clean Energy sector. However, the overall mood is certainly brighter this year. According to Clean Energy Pipeline data new investment in the first quarter of 2014 exceeded $61 billion globally, representing a 14% year-on-year growth rate. The UK has also established itself as a global pioneer in the YieldCo structure, a new source of capital and creating liquidity that is very new. Funding issues will always be a concern throughout the sector (not just in offshore) but the UK market looks more capable of finding a way to bridge the funding gap than it has done for several years. This is the third edition of the Clean Energy UK Finance Guide and by far the largest with contributions from almost twenty different institutions active in the sector in the UK. More than ever, we have achieved our goal of producing a definitive guide to investment in the UK Clean Energy sector.... and it’s free to download to anyone! Lastly and as always I would like to thank our sponsors for all their support as well as my research team. I hope to meet you at the guide’s launch event at Taylor Wessing’s offices in London on July 7th.

Thought leadership
Taylor Wessing
UK legislative framework for renewable energy
Dominic Lars Weber FitzPatrick Head of Sales Partner, Head of Energy (UK) Neas Energy Taylor Wessing Ltd.
Thethe In regulatory 12 months framework since the for release renewable of last year’s energyUK in Green the UKInvestment is driven byGuide, the 2009 theEU UK investment Energy Renewable landscape Directive has undergone and the 2008 significant Climatechange. ChangeSolar Act. PV has emerged as the dominant renewable energy technology and is being deployed at a scale not seen before The EU Renewable Energy Directive 2009 (EU RED) requires the UK to source 15% of energy in the UK. It is estimated a record 1.45 GW of new ground mounted solar capacity was from renewable sources by 2020. In order to achieve this target it is expected that 30% of built in 2013, with large-scale installations growing by a staggering 600%. The growth has electricity generation would need to come from renewable energy. continued in 1Q14, when an estimated 1.1 GW of new capacity was brought online. The Climate Change Act 2008 established the world’s first legally binding climate change target, with a commitment to reduce the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% (from the 1990 baseline) by 2050. The fourth carbon budget committed the UK to reducing its CO2 emissions 50% by 2027. However, while the UK has a carbon reduction target it does not have a renewable energy target other than that set out in the EU RED. In order to achieve the 2020 target, a 17% per year increase in deployment of renewable energy will be required and it is estimated that the size of investment required is c.£110 billion. Policy objectives
Decarbonisation
The UK government’s policy objectives are:
Renewables Obligation
• • •
Since 2002 the Renewables Obligation (RO) has been the main support mechanism for renewable energy in the UK. The RO imposes an obligation on electricity suppliers to source an increasing proportion of electricity generation from renewable sources.
to ensure security of supply; to meet decarbonisation targets; and to provide energy affordability for consumers.
The government seeks to achieve this through a number of support mechanisms and obligations focused primarily on the decarbonisation of generation but also energy efficiency.

Suppliers may satisfy this obligation by sourcing Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs) and surrendering

these or paying a “buy-out price”, or a combination of both. ROCs are tradable instruments that are sold separately from the electricity. ROCs are issued for 20 years from the later of accreditation of the generating station under the RO and commissioning. Under the scheme, eligible renewable generators are issued a pre-determined number of ROCs in respect of each megawatt-hour (MWh) of eligible renewable electricity they generate during an obligation period (running from 1 April to 31 March). Different numbers of ROCs are issued depending on the type of renewable energy source. A table summarising the banding levels for the banding review period (2013-17) in England and Wales is set out below. ROCs are sold by the generator to an electricity supplier, and are used by the electricity supplier as evidence that they have been supplied with the requisite percentage of renewable energy to meet their obligations under the RO for that obligation period. ROCs can only be redeemed by an electricity supplier against the obligation period in which they are issued or against the preceding obligation period. If electricity suppliers do not surrender enough certificates to cover the required percentage of their renewable energy
output, they are obliged to pay a buy-out price for any shortfall. The buy-out price is set each year by Ofgem and increases in line with changes in the Retail Price Index. The obligation level for 2014/15 is 0.244 ROCs/MWh in Great Britain and 0.107 ROC/MWh in Northern Ireland. The obligation level is set by taking the higher of (A) a predetermined fixed target and (B) the estimated number of ROCs that will be available in an obligation period plus 10%. The current buy out price is £43.30 per ROC. As part of the ongoing Electricity Market Reform the RO will close to new applications from 31 March 2017. However, generation stations that have been accredited under the RO will continue to be eligible to receive ROCs until 2037. From October 2014, a new Contracts for Difference (CfD) regime will come into force and most renewable energy technologies that are eligible to participate in the RO will have a choice whether to participate in the RO or the CfD regime until the RO closes to new applicants in March 2017. However, the government proposes to exclude new large-scale solar PV projects (or extensions of existing projects) from the RO from 1 April 2015, subject to a grace period for solar PV projects that have either (i) preliminary accreditation
