Our Green dreams fall apart?

Provides a channel between the Jacobites since the days of the great Glen and Strathspey peace has been a ride in an important power Tower engineering team.

This is No. 267 of the connections on the Beauly-Denny power line marks the halfway stage practical SSE the lion's share of the work.

Controversial 600 million pounds of this landmark project was deemed worthy of a newspaper published, due to the importance of the line. Danny Beaulieu-will provide the backbone of Scottish power transmission network, will make it possible for a large number of wind, wave and tidal energy, Highlands and Islands United Kingdom other parts, the nation's largest natural resources and large population base further South.

Will always be not necessary, it is quite another matter, unfortunately. Despite this welcome progress, green energy industry has experienced the ugliest periods.

First, the United Kingdom Government provides a number of recommendations, saying that industry, it needs to fund future projects, much shorter in the summer's Green subsidy system, while also indicating that it expects offshore wind farm much less than before.

Labour leader Ed Miliband pledged to freeze electricity prices for 18 months, if he wins the election in 2015. Coupled with the growing number of signs that Government and France utilities France nuclear dealings between the power companies is finally nearing completion, while others are concerned that they could do further damage to nuclear subsidies.

Then, last month, the Court of session in Edinburgh against Shetland and Scotland's wind power renewable energy in future decisions, the head will accept the approach.

Meanwhile, SSE, the closest "big six" renewable power company, began to turn around and wave and tidal power plan and postponed investment decisions for future offshore wind. Good measure, Alistair Phillips, its new Chief Executive, Davis called for a debate on whether it's time to retreat from the country the decarbonization of ambition.

Put it all together, it is no exaggeration to say that, yalikesi·saermengde (Alex Salmond) 100% of power come from renewable sources by 2020 has a huge green hope has rarely looked more uncertain.

United Kingdom Government through the electricity market reform (EMR) in the process of changing the rules of green subsidies. According to the electronic medical record, the existing so-called renewables obligation (RO) system is replacing another of the so-called CFD contracts for difference (CFDs).

Under the new system, distribution of green electricity subsidies, exercise price of each technology, generators of electricity market interest rates, rather than pay. Therefore, if the market rate of British pound 50/megawatt hour (MWh) onshore wind, but the technical exercise price of GBP 100, generators will be double the market rate for each MWh. By the same token, if market interest rates rise above the exercise price, they must pay the difference. This consumer subsidies out of the Bills of the highest transfer of £ 760 million dollars a year by 2020.

Set the correct strike price is essential to determine whether the developers will continue to work with the project. For renewable energy, the biggest questions surround offshore wind, which is regarded as the most has the potential to help the United Kingdom to achieve the 2020 goal, production of green power 30% (now 11%). Is also a Scottish Government target LI Si, methil, travel Dundee and Ardersier port in Scotland has created a large number of turbine manufacturing industry around the heart. Offshore wind because of so many important, onshore wind has become more difficult to obtain through planning-that was before pirates unrest (Panel)-because the other waves, tidal energy, carbon capture and storage technology is not mature digital any time soon.

Offshore wind's problem is that it is still incredibly expensive, and further, offshore wind power projects, plans to close the high prices in Scotland. Proposed EMR 155/MWh-pounds is about three times the exercise price of electricity market interest rates declined gradually pound 125/MWh by the mid-2020 is regarded by the industry as too low to make the project viable.

Scotland's renewable energy industry association (SR) told the United Kingdom Government trading desk "profoundly limited United Kingdom offshore wind power growth and supply chains" would be "deeper and farther offshore project was particularly challenging" "in Scottish waters" project.

In short, the proposed strike, five Scottish offshore wind energy project will be first against the wall. (The Scottish Government) until around the end of November to convince the United Kingdom Government, including renewable sources skeptical conservatives agree.

SR nier·situerte, Chief Executive said that United Kingdom Government already shut down England for the existing cost calculated on the basis of the relatively shallow water projects.

He said: "in addition, not long ago, we were looking for 25GW, by 2020, it will provide significant cost savings, and support for a falling significantly in the past decade. We are now looking for 13GW or 14GW, it will provide the same level of cost reduction, so we say, support began in too low, fall so fast. “

Electronic medical record proposal contains scenes of offshore wind energy, 8GW 2020 year around the fact there have been panic, Stewart pointed out that most of them are national grid estimated, and may be from the Government's intention to adopt a more ambitious statement to correct them.

CFD and RO system is one of the main difference between nuclear and now receiving subsidies under the system, nothing to do, to ease the tension. It's not too much difference, in this decade, it takes about 10 years to build the plant, but in 2020, it will be possible to make a very big difference.

Government and France electricity company (EDF) and Chinese General senior negotiated a deal on nuclear power, by building the first new nuclear power plants, Hinkley point in Somerset County since in the 1990 of the 20th century, 14 billion pounds, including loan guarantees of 10 billion pounds and rumours the strike price is much higher than the Government should red British pound 80/MWh line.

Energy expert at the University of Aberdeen, Dr David anchors, fearing that it would be at the cost of offshore wind power, and other nuclear power project development, in their wake.

He said: "in the 2020 of the 21st century, it seems likely that renewable energy will the pot of money is sucked into a black hole, and if Hinckley ç continues. ”

The renewable energy Association Chairman Martin Wight, is no doubt that nuclear power will win, because it comes with such a large and uncertain investment volume label. More likely is that he was concerned that EMR in a poor deal will see the construction of a new generation of gas-fired power station, rather than a developer focused. It will be on the hope that, in his view, ill conceived, namely indigenous shale gas and LNG imports will remain attractive levels in fuel prices.

Either way, have argued that electronic health records looks very perplexed. Wright said: "the public utilities really don't have electronic medical records so that they make a commitment to long-term power generation assets. ”

Friend added: "renewable energy needs to be installed in the lobby of a stronger campaign than they have done to date, not one big rally, I don't see much change. ”

This SSE. With struggle and tidal wave energy has no enough favor by EMR, according to SR, SSE to withdraw funding from its four projects in pengtelanfusi damaged emotions. Ditto on delayed investment decisions for new offshore wind until 2015, after the election, although the company stressed that nothing is set in stone, and only two projects (including Moray Firth (Moray Firth) Beatrice) may face delays.

Decarburization alisitaierfeilipu·daiweisi comments also raised eyebrows, though his main intent seems to have begun campaigns to move green electricity tax. This will prevent it from being stigmatized as reasons for rising bills, some observers think could lead to more such projects move forward, rather than a smaller number of green energy.

This reading, SSE boss could actually attempt to help the industry, although Martin Wight is one who thinks this is about utilities and they only make money priorities stand out "truth".

Stewart Scottish renewable energy to defend his leading members (the boss): "what he feels very consistent, that there is a lot of open questions EMR framework, of whether the Government is saving instruments and appropriate balance between investment in appropriate cases. “

EMR more promising than some of his leadership, said the industry has been so unanimous in opposing the Government's proposal, he is "confident" it will get what it wants.

In two months, we will see, if it proved to be correct. If this is the case, this period can be seen as temporary swings. If not, many green energy supporters will know where they go from here.
