Renewables
Hornsea 4 update has decided not to progress with the development of the Hornsea 4 offshore wind farm in its current form. This was an incredibly tough decision and a disappointing outcome for the company and the teams that have worked so hard to develop Hornsea 4 to this point.
The reason for this is, Hornsea 4 in its current form is that the project has experienced several negative changes relating to increase of supply chain costs, an increase in the risk to construct and operate Hornsea 4 and higher interest rates. In combination, these changes have meaningfully deteriorated the business case where we are no longer comfortable with the level of value creation in the business case. – NOTED

Rachel Palmer Community Engagement Manager introduced Dogger Bank D – Proposed Offshore Wind farm.
Discussion took place regarding:
Dogger bank D -Brand new wind farm – discussed area of seabed and connection to the national grid.
Near Creyke Beck – fix points – within facility of site, need converter stations .
Route itself is outlined in brochure page 14.
Councillors asked – Why come in from the left side of Walkington – can you not get through Bev side? Run out of space. Not possible for the east side.
31 _________ Chair
Hornsea 4 and dogger bank west side of Beverley.
Cables 100-degree Celsius underground –2-3 m depth – can affect crop aboveground. Rachel advised informal feedback – that crops are growing faster.
Expected to build in 2029 – statutory preferred route and preferred converter stations by summer 2025. Currently two on the 1079 present – would need one of those.
Councillor Elvidge stated that SSE have one on 1079 – Rachel said it depend on how to go into Creyke beck. A & B are going into Creyke bank.
Cable route for A & b could not take any more capacity – so cannot follow this route. Gas pipelines so cannot access that way.
Parish Councillors asked if there will be a community benefit attached to project – will it come to the parishes or to ERYC – work with community and the council and find a way to administer the fund. There is a grant of up to £1000. RWE will try to keep completely separate from the planning process.
Dogger bank D may work different to that of A & B – The fund should be available for the lifetime of the project.
Dogger bank South RWE – Liaison with the schools – went to Beverley however did not get into Little Weighton schools & other local schools.
Dogger bank – advised that primary schools are able to access stem education development paths. Working with teachers and schools to support their strengths. Cost is met – able to meet specialists.
Councillor Armstrong asked – is there a requirement of the workforce to be local people – global supply chain, contractors for underground and sub stations, to increase local jobs etc. sustainability. As project develops may come back with key package about numbers locally – apprenticeships, local employment etc.
Councillor Elvidgereported oncommunication channels stating that RWE are reasonable, Hornsea 4 (non-existent) – Dogger Bank D – hoping to be kept in loop. RWE response was that one consultation ended, will start statutory consultation and then submitting application for secretary of state approval.
Councillor Tunnicliffe asked if there had been any consultation with the military – huge gas pipeline next to where they are building converter stations. RWE responded that the home office and national liaise on a regional basis & are aware. This is continually monitored.
Councillor Elvidge – 2 options converter station – option 1 – cable line one goes through an ancient wood – is that option not too serious? Rachel – all options are available. We have around 200 metres – flexibility. Rachel said can go underneath wood and that is why they can go under the wood. Would not open trench – but may go under.
Dogger bank windfarm generating energy in North Sea. Under construction – can get same amount of power from the seabed.
Councillor Woodall asked about construction – Copple flat lane? asked if traffic routes and compounds etc to get machinery where needed – what are potential areas RWE Response – A Baseline survey will need to be carried out.
