Add BT as a preferred sourceLondon
THE UK has approved construction of one of the biggest offshore wind farms as the country chases a European Union target to get 15 per cent of all energy from renewables by 2020.
The consent allows Dong Energy A/S to install up to 750 megawatts (MW) of turbines at the Walney Extension project in the Irish Sea off northwest England's Cumbria coast, the Planning Inspectorate said on Friday. Denmark's Dong said that it expects to put in about 660MW of turbines, enough to power as many as half a million homes.
