Update on Renewables Obligation Regime

 

Renewable Energy Generation Limited ("REG or The Company"), the AIM quoted UK focused multi-divisional renewables company notes last week's announcement from the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change that the Government intends to legislate to close the Renewables Obligation ("RO") to new onshore wind generating stations from 1 April 2016.

 

REG confirms that its five new onshore wind projects, currently moving into construction, should comply with proposed grace periods under the proposed RO changes. The five projects, which total 38MW, are: French Farm (4MW), Rodbaston (4MW), Brackagh Quarry (6MW), Mynydd Portref (12MW) and Hallburn Farm (12MW). Their combined annual output, once operational, will be approximately 92,000MWh which will increase the company's total annual wind energy production to approximately 183,000MWh.

 

Bio-Power

The RO will remain available to new projects built by REG's Bio-Power until 2017. Currently the Company operates 26MW of bio-power capacity, generating power and heat through a patented bioliquid, LF100, recovered from used cooking oil.

 

Solar

Construction of REG's 2.6MWp Mendennick solar project is underway, whilst the Company's 12MWp Netley solar project is moving to procurement under its recently awarded Contract for Difference. REG also operates 4.5MWp solar PV on behalf of BlackRock through its Asset Management division.

 

REG's CEO Andrew Whalley said, "The UK Government remains committed to its international obligations to decarbonise power generation. Onshore wind remains the lowest cost, readily deployable renewable energy technology, embraced by over two thirds of the UK public. We continue to believe it should play an important role in decarbonising energy generation at the lowest cost to the consumer. REG is a diversified energy business and remains well placed to participate in the continued growth of the UK renewable energy sector."
