摘要

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) owns, operates and maintains a unique and diverse network across the north of Scotland which connects 59 Scottish islands to the distribution network through 111 submarine cables. At present, 109 of these cables are laid directly on the seabed. Submarine Electricity Cables account for 1% of SSEN's Scottish network by length (454 km). Marine Scotland, SSEN's environmental regulator, published Scotland's National Marine Plan. Adopted in March 2015, the plan sets out a framework to manage the competing economic, environmental and social demands placed on Scotland's natural marine environment. It includes new policies on how submarine electricity cables are laid and protected on the seabed to achieve co-existence of all marine users. These policy changes could substantially increase the cost of laying and maintaining submarine electricity cables by up to £300 million (from £44 million) over the next 8 years. From the perspective of SSEN's Scottish consumer base, they could have a 23% increase in the distribution element of their electricity bills in 2017/18, and a 10% increase annually until the end of RIIO-ED1. SSEN is also subject to financial regulation from the Office of Gas and Electricity Regulation (Ofgem). Ofgem accepted SSEN's final business plan of the period April 2015 to March 2023 and determined the amount of revenue that SSEN can receive, from consumers through their bills, in order to maintain the network in November 2014. At this point SSEN's allowances for maintaining the network were set based on the assumption of surface laid submarine cables. With the introduction of Scotland's National Marine Plan imminent, provisions were made for SSEN to recover additional costs associated with the protection of submarine electricity cables, where the identified benefits (to the cable, a wide range of stakeholders and electricity consumers) justify the additional expenditure and provide best value. Stakeholder views were used to inform the development of a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) tool which is being used to demonstrate to Ofgem, Marine Scotland and users of the marine environment as to whether or not the additional cost of protecting or burying submarine electricity cables represents best value to SSEN electricity consumers and wider stakeholders. AECOM were engaged to develop the CBA tool to assess the holistic impacts of cable protection in monetary terms. The tool includes the engineering costs of installation, repair, decommissioning and maintenance, as well as the effect on fault rate. The tool also considers a range of non-engineering impacts, including the health and safety of marine users involved in installing cables, the socio-economic impact on citizens, such as fuel poverty caused by increased electricity distribution costs, commercial fishing and future renewable generation and environmental issues relating to greenhouse gas emissions. The tool calculates the net present value for all impacts considered and compares the overall impact of choosing different cable protection strategies. The tool facilitates the assessment of a range of cable protection options, identified through consultation such as ploughing, concrete mattressing, rock placement and horizontal directional drilling. The range of impacts included in the tool were developed with extensive stakeholder engagement, including Marine Scotland and Ofgem, and discussions with industry experts: demonstrating SSEN's commitment to community-based participation. On a case-by-case basis, the tool will help with the selection of the best value protection method for individual cables and will be included as supporting evidence within the Marine License documentation submitted to Marine Scotland. The tool will also be used to determine whether the identified benefits (to the cable, a wide range of stakeholders and electricity consumers) can support any additional expenditure and provide best value for electric
