New wind farm zones are Settled in UK

9 new offshore wind farm in the UK waters, winning the license area have been published.

A, including Npower and Norway, the consortium has won the greatest photographer of the district license in a multi-cell bank, which will generate 90,000 kilowatts of energy.

In 9 districts turbines can generate up to 32 kilowatts of power, one quarter of Britain’s electricity needs.

Winners have been the official real estate, has an exclusive agreement, the British submarine.

‘Rare’

Wind farm proposals will now be through the planning and consent stage.

It will create in 2014 began the construction of the wind in the world’s largest energy infrastructure projects, one of the earliest.

The second largest area of 720 million kilowatts of potential energy production in the Norfolk bank. Since the wind farm license from Scottish Power’s renewable energy resources and Sweden’s Vattenfall company Vindkraft bid victory.

With regard to speaking on behalf of the joint venture, Keith Anderson, said these companies “happy” has won the right to development.

“This will be a major engineering challenge, but the energy business partners, access to decades of combined experience, will help our project, will provide enough green energy to meet the equivalent of more than 500 million households The annual electricity needs of England, “he said.

This is the third company has the opportunity to bid area.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the Government’s policy to support offshore wind power has been put England ahead of other countries.

“This new round of licensing requirements in the UK industrial capacity to invest heavily in new platforms,” he added.

“In the offshore wind industry is in the heart of the British economy to a low-carbon and value, can support up to 750 million pounds by 2020, 70000 job opportunities,” he said.

It is thought the turbines will be erected up to 60 meters depth, different from the previous round of 25 meters. They will be positioned to the two hundred and five kilometers off the coast compared to the current 25 km.
