WICO Policy workshop report
The WICO policy workshop, held recently, explored a range of items including local authority spatial planning, approvals policy and timescales, consultative and legal structures and formalities of Grid Connection.
The three project partners described and discussed their national experiences in order to understand the issues and barriers and identify the best practices which might assist their own local circumstances.
Likewise, partners compared and contrasted market factors and technical matters in order to identify best practices and transfer the relevant information to their own location.
In some cases, partners identified important enabling "futures" for technology development such as the need for specialist metering and integrated (local) power network "smart" control technology, and the economic provision of site specific annualised wind speed distribution information.
The analysis will be complete by year end, a report due out in early 2011.
