Opportunities are not capitalised i.e. Cornwall’s mine water potential.

Grid capacity – Can’t expand RE Generation. Lack of high level vocational skills. Strategic leadership at all levels is at risk of being eroded.

Leading other UK regions in terms of RE installed capacity.

Political will to develop renewable energy and a willingness to think big.

Government launch of a new Feed in Tariff

Rural and remote nature of Cornwall: Low population densities make it difficult to efficiently distribute energy.

Bureaucracy: Planning and environmental health prevent some RE developments.

Instances of poor tradesmanship put reputation of sector Government launch of a new Feed in Tariff. Public sector leadership e.g. Green Cornwall Programme. New Unitary Authority provides level playing field in terms

of planning. Track record of delivery.

Instances of poor tradesmanship put reputation of sector at risk.

Lack of public understanding. Availability of local grants and capital. High installation costs.

Good existing partnerships/ networks. ‘Get it done’ attitude. A lot of private properties have available land to allow

renewable energy generation.

Lack of joined up thinking between national and local level.

C l i f h SWOT f C ll (1)Conclusion of the SWOT for Cornwall (1)

• Cornwall should be in a strong position as a result of large available renewableenergy resources which include wind, wave, geothermal and solar. The CombinedUniversities in Cornwall provides a strong research focus coupled with significantp g p ginvestment coming into the region through European Convergence programmes.Cornwall also benefits from a strong industrial heritage, skilled local workforce andboth public and political support for renewable energy generation However despiteboth public and political support for renewable energy generation. However, despitethe obvious advantages over other UK regions, only a small percentage of Cornwall’senergy is currently produced by renewables.

• Several key weaknesses have been identified which have hindered the developmentof the renewable energy sector These include the lack of market and demand forof the renewable energy sector. These include the lack of market and demand forrenewable energy; limited grid capacity; and a lack of strategic leadership and joinedup approach amongst the public sector. In addition the small size of businesses inCornwall and low levels of manufacturing leads to a lack of capacity which in turnCornwall and low levels of manufacturing leads to a lack of capacity which in turnaffects market leverage and investment opportunities.

C l i f h SWOT f C ll (2)Conclusion of the SWOT for Cornwall (2)

Th l b f f i i d bl• There are a large number of future opportunities to expand renewable energyinnovation capacity in the region. Cornwall has a strong academic sector withworld leading renewable energy research and good links with local businesses.There are several large projects already in development including the Wave Hub,the proposed Environment and Sustainability Institute, the development of solarparks and the opportunities presented by St Austell Ecotown. There is potential forp pp p y pjob creation and skills development, and if Cornwall is successful in pushingforward this agenda, the region could gain a first mover advantage allowingexpertise to be sold both nationally and globallyexpertise to be sold both nationally and globally.

• Effective expansion of the renewable energy sector in Cornwall will depend onp gy pwhether threats can be mitigated. The most significant threats are thought to beeconomic uncertainty and changing priorities within the new UK Government.Additional threats are posed through investment in unsuitable technologies publicAdditional threats are posed through investment in unsuitable technologies, publicopposition to renewable energy developments (i.e. wind) and competition fromlarge national and international companies.

C l i f h SWOT f C ll (3)Conclusion of the SWOT for Cornwall (3)

C ll ld b l d i bl i h i d• Cornwall could become a leader in renewable energy generation, however in orderto achieve this Cornwall needs to capitalise heavily on the strengths andopportunities presented to the region whilst effectively mitigating weaknesses andthreats. During this exercise private sector representatives identified ways in whichthe weaknesses outlined above can be addressed. For instance, the public sectorcould drive the market for renewable energy technologies and Convergencegy g gfunding could be invested to increase grid capacity in Cornwall.

• To successfully develop renewable energy in Cornwall there needs to be a clearvision and it needs to be given top priority at the political level with sufficientcapacity in place to deliver. In addition, there needs to be sufficient scale to play onp y p p ythe world stage and successfully complete internationally. Cornwall will need towork closely with neighbouring counties as well as nationally to achieve this andattract sufficient investment in the futureattract sufficient investment in the future.

ConclusionsConclusions

• Each region has followed their own / classical method / approach by implementing the regional SWOT‐analysis. The RSC‐s have participated in the process – the results seem to be relevantbe relevant.

• Present situation:– Energy profile: different  RES‐potential, RES‐experience, RES‐use and integration phase of 

actors – best: Ostrobothnia, weakest: NH,– RES‐innovation profile: the actors are opened, more or less networked and motivated – best: 

Ostrobothnia, weakest: NH• Future challenges:

– Energy potential: rapidly increasing local and global demand for RES, but instability in markets and policy, remaining fossile dependency

– RES‐innovation potential: coming new and more effective technologies, RES‐knowledge exportpotential but negative influence on R+D of global recessionpotential, but negative influence on R+D of global recession

• Potential tasks: – Elaborate different visions + strategic objectives + actions + timing by each regions

Th i ld ( h ld) l f h th h t b id th b t th– The regions could (should) learn from each other: „how to bridge the gap between the present and strategically aimed position?” – concerning the elaboration of strategy + action plans + achieving social agreements + implementing + monitoring of RES‐strategies
