190606 | 18 Presentation from Neil Farrington of Community Energy Plus (CEP), Regarding Tidal Range Generation
18 TO RECEIVE A PRESENTATION FROM NEIL FARRINGTON OF COMMUNITY ENERGY PLUS (CEP), REGARDING TIDAL RANGE GENERATION
The mayor welcomed Neil Farrington to the meeting and he in turn introduced his colleagues Steve Jermy, of James Fisher Marine (formerly Mojo Marine) and Graeme Hunt, of CEP, who would soon be taking over from Neil’s current role of Project Development Officer. Neil explained that he would soon be leaving CEP altogether but that he would still be working on this project but working in Hayle from the Renewable Energy Hub on North Quay.
Neil Farrington and Steve Jermy presented an update on the progress they had made since they last came to the council 2 years ago, which included details of tried and tested modelling software, civil engineering approaches and various specifications for tidal turbines, which previously did not exist. They also presented the pros and cons of operating from Hayle; acknowledging that Hayle had its issues in terms of having to overcome the silting and flood protection issue but overall Hayle was one of the most optimal sites due to its location. They also explained that there was currently no government mechanism for payment for renewable energy and so they were exploring the possibly entering into private contracts with the developers of North Quay,for the provision of carbon neutral houses,and /or Asda. In the question and answer session that followed they confirmed that WHS was interested and supportive of the initiative for Hayle and that energy from tidal generation could be produced in as soon as 18 months.
The mayor and councillors gave thanks for the informative presentation and asked the three gentlemen to keep in contact as the project progressed
