Plans that would link one of the world’s largest offshore energy projects to the North East coast will be outlined next week.
The Berwick Bank wind farm project, which is being developed in the North Sea with the aim of powering thousands of homes, is being proposed by energy giant SSE Renewables.
If approved, the project would include a 110-mile cable from the wind farm to Cambois, in Northumberland, an area which is already a significant player in the renewable energy sector. The scheme could create thousands of jobs in the North East and elsewhere, with the power link strengthening the region’s reputation as a leading zone for green energy.
