The UK government has approved the construction of the UK’s largest offshore wind farms, near Walney Island off the coast of Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria.
The 500MW ‘West of Dutton Sands’ wind farm will contain 139 wind turbines and the developers, Morecambe Wind Limited, claim it could power 372,000 homes with clean electricity.
The government also approved a proposal from Ormonde Energy Limited to build a 150MW wind farm containing 30 turbines near Walney Island.
Work has also begun on three further offshore wind farms:
