The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has granted development consent for our East Anglia ONE North and East Anglia TWO offshore windfarms.
A ScottishPower spokesperson said: “Offshore wind is exactly what’s needed to get more clean, green home-grown electricity on to the grid, so we can reduce our dependency on gas and reach net zero. We note the Secretary of State’s decisions to consent the East Anglia ONE North and East Anglia TWO offshore windfarm projects, which were designed to support the UK’s green energy security and help turn the Government’s ambitions for offshore wind into reality. We’ll now fully assess what the detail of the decisions means in practice for our projects, our plans to generate enough affordable green electricity to power almost three million homes, and our ambition to support up to 7,000 jobs.”
