Six new offshore wind farms have been given the go-ahead to move to lease agreement stage by the UK Government.
The projects will add 8GW of capacity and hundreds more jobs, with more than half located off the Humber, already the leading offshore wind operations and maintenance cluster.
RWE is behind two, off the Yorkshire coast, with Green Investment Group and Total successful with a third off Lincolnshire. All are proposed at 1.5MW - which if built now would constitute a world-leading scale.
