Risk: Unduly onerous requirements pre- deployment (survey & baseline evidence gathering) and post deployment (monitoring) Impacts:
- Punishes first movers
- High costs of engaging with complex
procedures
- Delays as developers are unwilling to take
- n financial exposure before achieving
consent RUK Licensing - Striking the Right Balance

Marine (Scotland) Act 2010
- Compliments the UK Marine and
Coastal Access Act 2009

Planning Scotland’s Seas
Vision:
- Clean
- healthy
- safe
- productive
- biologically
diverse oceans and seas
- managed to meet
the long term needs of nature and people.
SLIDE 10
Planning Scotland’s Seas
- generate electricity
equivalent to 50% of Scotland's gross annual electricity consumption from renewable sources by 2015 and 100% by 2020
- To contribute to achieving
the decarbonisation target
- f 50gCO2/kWh by 2030 to
cut carbon emissions from electricity generation by more than four-fifths.
SLIDE 11
Have we:
- Reduced the risk for first
movers?
- Reduce consenting costs?
- Reduce delays?
SLIDE 12
Survey, Deploy and Monitor
to provide regulators, and developers, with an efficient risk- based approach for taking forward wave and tidal energy proposals.
SLIDE 13
Survey Deploy and Monitor
Three main factors:
- 1. Environmental sensitivity (of the
development location)
- 2. Scale of Development; and
- 3. Device or Technology Classification
SLIDE 14
Europe’s largest, consented tidal stream development 86MW 61 turbines
SLIDE 15
- consent is conditional upon the Company
deploying the turbines in stages
- Stage One of the Development being limited to a
maximum of 6 turbines
- all Subsequent Stages of the Development being
subject to the prior written approval of the Scottish Ministers
Phased Development

Have we:
- Reduced the risk for first

- Reduce consenting costs?
- Reduce delays?
