Island states - Renewable Energy Policy PioneersLeonardo ENERGY
As the cost of renewable energy technologies (RETs) has declined in recent years, many jurisdictions around the world are now faced with a market in which customer-sited generation is cheaper than power from the grid, a transformation that will have significant implications for renewable electricity (RE) development in the years ahead. Rather than paying a cost-based price for RE generation (as under many feed-in tariffs), or allowing onsite generation to be credited at the full retail rate (as under net metering) – two common approaches in mainland markets – island jurisdictions are beginning to introduce new kinds of policies to adapt to a world in which customer-sited RETs can generate power more cost-effectively than centralized supply options. Nowhere is this transformation more apparent than in island grids, where imported diesel and/or heavy fuel oil often result in generation costs above USD $0.50/kWh.
As this innovation advances, island jurisdictions are becoming policy laboratories, showcasing new ways of attempting to balance the solvency of the electricity system (including generation, transmission, and distribution) with the rapid rise of customer-sited generation. In the process, this webinar will examine whether island jurisdictions are indeed pointing the way forward, and if so, what it could mean for the future of renewable electricity policy.

Presentations from Scottish Enterprise's 'Scotland the global home for oil & gas' event at held at Scotland House during the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Ashley Shackleton, external affairs Officer, Oil & Gas UK
The oil and gas industry is by some margin the single largest industrial contributor to the UK economy. In addition to its economic contribution, and its role in protecting energy security, the industry is a world class driver of innovation in UK science and technology. The oil and gas industry also creates and sustains an impressive number of skilled and valued jobs. Unfortunately these facts are not well known or understood. By proudly and consistently telling our story we will raise awareness about our contribution, improve understanding of what we contribute, and ensure we attain the support and recognition we need to thrive as an industry. This session will explore the public’s perceptions of the UK oil and gas industry and how we may hope to change them.

2. Studies project that Scotland will reach between 68-87% of its 16GW renewable energy target by 2020 due to slow deployment, UK subsidy cuts reducing investment, and public support for the strategy.
3. Recommendations to improve target viability include publishing long-term investment plans, continuing capacity growth, investing in storage, and creating a sustainable operations model.
The document discusses the IYRE project which provides support to businesses to improve environmental performance through increased efficiency. It provides an agenda and overview of the project as well as case studies of businesses that received funding. Performance metrics are presented showing that in the last financial year, 87 projects were supported with £403,164 in the Southwest region, exceeding initial targets.
Snam reported its consolidated results for the first half of 2022. Key highlights include:

mid-1970s – 200 metres
• West of Shetland started late
1990s – approx 500 metres
• Atlantic margin – between1500 –
5000 metres
4. Economic Contribution
Supports up to 440,000 Oil and Gas provides 75% of
UK jobs – (c. 45% in the UK’s primary energy
Scotland)
The largest single
industry ~ £ 6 billion UK balance of
“value adding” trade contribution in 2011
contributor to the UK
economy
Currently providing 68% ~ £ 11.2 billion in direct
of the UK’s oil and taxation
58% of its gas needs
5. UKCS Production
UKCS Oil & Gas Production
• UK is 19th largest oil and gas
producer
• Produced 1.8 million boe per
day in 2011
• Decline in production offset
by growth in oil price

6. UKCS Reserves
UKCS Reserves and Resources
• Up to 24 billion boe still
to be recovered
• Technology and
investment key to
unlocking potential
7. UKCS Expenditure
UKCS Overall Expenditure (2012-16)
• Total UKCS expenditure
increased from £12.4 billion
in 2007 to £17 billion in 2011
• £90.5 billion total forecast
expenditure over five years
2012-16
• Annual average expenditure
£18 billion
8. Current challenges
Some challenges of a mature UK oil and gas industry
• Control CAPEX and OPEX - massive increase in costs
• Ageing assets - maintain integrity of infrastructure -
high cost of Operation and Maintenance
• Sustain production levels – technology
• Create indigenous decommissioning supply chain capability
– uncertainty of timing
9.
10. Strategy Themes
• Focus on maximising recovery through:
– Strengthening our supply chain expertise;
– Applying Innovation;
– Utilising our skills;
– And increasing internationalisation.
• Industry led – through Industry Leadership Group
11. Opportunity driven
• Around £90bn of investment in the North Sea in the next 5 years
• About 40% resources by volume still to extract – more in value terms (up
to £1.5 trillion)
• Current recovery levels average 40% - for each percentage point rise in
recovery:
£89bn in economic value
£22bn in taxation
• Oil and Gas will still meet 70% of UK primary energy needs by 2020 –
even if renewable targets are met
• Industry supports about 200,000 jobs in Scotland – but needs 10,000
new people over the next 5 years
