Notes
1) This figure was calculated using the following:
Based on an 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 The number of UK households is as stated for 2003 in the Mid-year Household Estimates for England (21.1 m), Northern Ireland (0.65 m), Scotland (2.2 m) and Wales (1.2 m) published in 2004 by the Office for National Statistics.
The energy predicted to be generated by the proposal has been calculated using an assumed capacity factor of 29% (DTI Energy Trends UK regional capacity factors 1998-2004), and is based on an installed capacity of between 10 and 12.5 MW. The energy capture, capacity factor and equivalent homes figure relating to this project may change as site specific information is gathered.
