2 PROGRESS WITH EVIDENCE PLAN DOCUMENTS SINCE OETG MTG 2
2.1 Project Timetable 5.
The indicative project timeline that was presented in tabulated form in Section 1.4 of the Background Paper to OETG Mtg 1 remains the best available information. No revisions need to be brought to the attention of the attendees of OETG Mtg 3.
2.2 Project Description 6.
The project description given in Section 1.3 of the Background Paper to OETG Mtg 1 now requires revision with a decision having been made about the turbine array that in particular changes the ‘Rochdale Envelope’ for the impact assessment. This is that the array will consist of between 100 and 172 turbines of 12MW to 7MW respectively.
7.
As a result, the first bullet point of Section 1.3 of the Background Paper to OETG Mtg 1 changes from:
• Offshore wind turbines and associated foundations (anticipated to be up to maximum of 240 wind turbines, each having a rated capacity of between 5MW and 10MW, with an installed capacity of up to 1,200MW);
8. To:
• Offshore wind turbines and associated foundations (anticipated to be up to maximum of 172 wind turbines, each having a rated capacity of between 7MW and 12MW, with an installed capacity of up to 1,200MW);
9.
This affects the ‘worst case’ scenario, derived from the Rochdale Envelope, for use in particular in the collision risk modelling. That worst case that will be modelled is set out in Table 2.1.
