Labour has sought to massively expand the UK’s renewable energy capacity - (PA Wire)

The Crown Estate has approved plans to increase the capacity of existing wind farm projects on already leased seabed, which will be enough to power four million homes.

This initiative, known as the Capacity Increase Programme, will see seven projects add a combined 4.7 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy to the national grid. Among these projects are RWE's Rampion 2 and the Dogger Bank D project, a joint venture between SSE and Equinor.
