A Hot Wind Blows
In a period of 24 hours last month, three times as much new wind power capacity (300MW) was approved in Scotland and Wales than was built during the whole of last year. To date this year in the UK, 30 new wind energy projects have been consented, at a 75% approval rate and totalling some 770MW.
The Cap de Creus canyon head, a key feature in the Gulf of Lion, is the subject of an ongoing EuroSTRATAFORM study supported by the European Community and the US office of Naval Research.
This compares with a current total installed capacity of 770MW, meaning that as much wind power has been consented this year as has been constructed during the industry’s 13 year history.
