UK Wind Energy Boom 2012 - 2013
A new report suggests that UK offshore wind energy has risen by 79% over the last year!
Most of the increase is attributed to large off shore projects (turbines built out to sea), which is a first with land based turbines historically being more popular.
Planning permission for onshore turbines remains a major hurdle.
Facts and figures (2012 / 2013):
1.3 GW - Installed on shore capacity.
79 % increase in offshore capacity.
630 MW - Delivered by the London Array (Just 50 miles from the capital)
4.8 GW - Onshore wind awaiting development.
