Wind turbines get an Anglian green light

摘要

Business secretary Greg Clark has granted consent for offshore wind turbines with a tip height of 247m for the East Anglia Three project, which will have a total output of up to 1.200MW. This output would require up to 172 individual turbines across an area of 305km2,69km east of Great Yarmouth. A company spokesman told The Engineer that no decision had yet been taken on the source of the turbines. ScottishPower Renewables chief executive Keith Anderson said the cost of offshore wind has tumbled in recent years, with electricity prices from East Anglia Three projected to be £119MW/hr.
