As Time Goes By

A ditty (with apologies) on offshore wind by Ronnie Quinn on his departure after 9 years from The Crown Estate and Crown Estate Scotland.

You must remember this
Round 3 was not a miss
A Roc was just a Roc
For fundamental consents apply
As time goes by

And when the envelope’s small
They still say build them tall
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Wind resource and capex
Never out of date
Auctions full of contest
Cost of energy and supply chain
Grid must have its energy and offshore wind must have its CfD
That no one can deny

It’s still the same old story
A fight for consent and support
A case of spend or fail
The world will always welcome cost efficient, renewable energy
As time goes by
