Footnote
Energy predicted to be generated by the proposal as been calculated using an assumed capacity factor of 30% (DTI Energy Trends UK regional capacity factors 1998-2004) and is based on an installed capacity of 30MW. The energy capture predicted and hence derived homes equivalent or emissions savings figures may change as site specific information is gathered.
Equivalent homes supplied is based on annual electricity consumption per home of 4700 kWh, which is derived from a total UK domestic electricity consumption of 117.589 terawatt-hours (TWh) and 25.2 million UK households giving 4,666 kWh per year per household.
UK energy consumption is as stated for 2004 in The Digest of UK Energy Statistics 2005. Number of UK households is as stated for 2003 in the Mid-year Household Estimates published in 2004 by the Office for National Statistics.
