Investors have snapped up a stake in the world’s biggest offshore wind farm near Yorkshire amid a race by the West to shift away from reliance on Russian oil and gas.

FTSE 250-listed investment trust The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) has bought 7.8% of the 407sq km Hornsea One field, 120km off the Yorkshire coast. The project, which started operating in 2020, generates enough clean power to 1 million homes. The stake is understood to be worth around £240 million.
