Agenda  South West offshore energy assets  Benefits to the South West of embracing Offshore energy

 LEP and Low Carbon initiatives

Low Carbon Special Interest Group

 Now established with remit to: “.. involve and work with partners in the public and private sector, and organisations such as Regen SW and the Institute of Civil Engineers to define our position, shape our policy, and enable progress towards the first low carbon LEP by capturing funding for the region’s projects”

 Region holds many Low Carbon energy programmes, such as: Hinkley Point, Atlantic Array, Cranbrook housing heating, Numerous Energy from Waste programmes, Langridge Biomass, Solar farms, Geothermal, woodchip burners and providers, Wave hub, Fab Test

Summary  The SW is well placed to lead the nation on Offshore Renewable energy – this is tomorrow’s export market

 Atlantic Array is a key part of that strategy but it needs to be carefully managed with stakeholders

 The LEP is committed to supporting this sector and making the point to Government that it needs to be financially supported
