Britain's pre repair world's largest offshore wind farm
Recently, the British government announced that it has approved 1 development plans for the construction of a large offshore wind farm in the Northeast coastal waters. After the completion of the wind farm, the government will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world.
The news said that the British government introduced, the wind farm will be located off the coast of Yorkshire in waters about 89 kilometers, an area equivalent to the Greater London area nearly 1/3. It includes up to 300 large offshore wind turbines. The planned power generation capacity of the whole project reaches 1800 MW. After the completion of the wind farm, it can provide "low carbon" power to about 1 million 800 thousand families in the UK. The project will be carried out by a Danish company.
The British Minister of Commerce Greg Clark said in a statement, the situation of offshore wind power industry growth over the past few years is very good, Britain has been committed to building a clean, cost-effective and safe energy system of the wind power industry is one of the important measures to support this goal.
The British government also said that the recent renewable energy project to provide 730 million pounds (about 6 billion 240 million yuan) financial support, the policy is expected to promote the UK offshore wind power installed capacity in 2020 reached 10 GW, with cost reduction, this number will continue to grow.
British NGO "energy and climate information group analyst Jonathan Marshall said that the continued support of government have dropped a lot for the cost of offshore wind power, energy and fossil energy generation almost to the level of competition; Britain's factories in manufacturing related parts for wind farms, which are low carbon industrial strategy to form a real sense that need foundation.
