Nine offshore wind farm projects awarded in UK auction

 

Nine offshore wind farm projects awarded in UK auction

 

The new offshore wind farms will include what will be Europe's largest and second-largest wind farms, Hornsea 3 and Hornsea 4, off the Yorkshire coast.

In total, 131 contracts have been awarded that will generate 9.6 gigawatts (GWs) of renewable energy.

"We inherited a broken energy policy, including last year’s disastrous auction round which gave us no successful offshore wind projects," said Energy Secretary Ed Miliband.

"These results show that together, this government and the energy industry are securing investment into our country."
