Loch Ryan sandwich terns to get help from Norfolk wind farms
Plans have been drawn up to revive a seabird colony in southern Scotland to mitigate the impact of two wind farms hundreds of miles away. It would create a haven for sandwich terns on Loch Ryan at a spot where they have not nested for more than a project is linked to the Sheringham Shoal and Dudgeon offshore wind farm extensions which could affect bird numbers off the Norfolk and Galloway Council is being recommended to approve the plans with a number of conditions. A search of shorelines came up with the Dumfries and Galloway site as the best location to seek the return of sandwich terns.A special coastal habitat would be created including an inland pool with islands to be surrounded by a "predator-proof" viewing hides would also be set up to allow walkers to view the area without disturbing Equinor want the scheme in southern Scotland to compensate for the predicted impact on breeding sandwich terns of extensions to its two Norfolk schemes. The site was selected after a detailed search for suitable places to create or restore a habitat for the area was identified as having been a historic breeding site up until about 15 years appears the site was vacated by the colony primarily as a result of coastal have raised concerns about the low likelihood of the project being a success and problems linked to additional visitors to the have also voiced fears that other species in the area could be adversely a report by council planners has recommended the scheme should be given the all said the project had "acceptable environmental credentials" and could go ahead with a number of conditions attached.

UK's Crown Estate to invest up to 400 mln stg in offshore wind
LONDON, June 17 (Reuters) - King Charles III's Crown Estate, which owns Britain's seabed, said on Tuesday it will invest up to 400 million pounds ($543 million) in the country's offshore wind supply chain. The investment is intended to support the construction of new infrastructure, including ports, supply chain manufacturing, and research and testing facilities, to enable the deployment of offshore wind across Britain, it said. One of the barriers to further deployment of offshore wind is insufficient supply chain capacity. Britain plans to largely decarbonise its electricity sector by 2030 and wants to increase renewable power, particularly offshore wind, to insulate it from fossil fuel price shocks. The capital will be channelled through two programmes. A 350 million pound supply chain investment programme will be established to invest in the construction of new port and supply chain infrastructure. The Crown Estate also has another 50 million pound programme which supports early-stage project development and that is currently running its second funding round to award up to 15 million pounds to also include UK ports and port-related infrastructure. That closes for applications on June 27. Last month, the Crown Estate gave the go-ahead to expand capacity at seven wind farm projects on current seabed leases. ($1 = 0.7367 pounds)

‘More wind farms in the South' under Miliband's regional energy blueprint
Plans to overhaul Britain's energy market being studied by Ed Miliband would prompt a surge in the number of wind farms in the South of England, officials have confirmed. Fintan Slye, the chief executive of the National Energy System Operator (Neso), said breaking the electricity market into regions under so-called zonal pricing would encourage developers to put turbines up in the South. He backed the idea and said the current system of setting power prices nationally was giving renewable developers the wrong 'price signals' over where to locate wind farms. In a speech at the Royal Society, Mr Slye said he wanted renewable developers to 'move south' and build more wind and solar farms closer to where demand is strongest. Mr Slye said: '[Zonal pricing] will incentivise the development of wind and solar farms in southern areas but it will also encourage energy intensive developments in the North and Scotland.' Under zonal pricing, Britain would be split into regions and energy prices in each area would be set based on local supply and demand. In practice, households in the South would pay more than those in the North – where most wind farms are concentrated.
