Offshore wind operational report 2014
Offshore wind operational report 2014
Commenting in the report, the Rt Hon Ed Davey MP, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change said: "The UK is the number one country in the world for offshore wind, supporting green jobs and growth as well as strengthening our energy security. We have already attracted over £30 billion worth of investment in renewable technologies since 2010. Our ambitious electricity market reforms provide investors with the long-term certainty they need."
Huub den Rooijen, Head of Offshore Wind at The Crown Estate said: "There have been a number of significant milestones in 2014 for offshore wind including a total of £750 million industry investment announced. With around 1465 wind turbines in operation or under construction and nearly 4 GW in operation it is fair to say the industry is coming of age. The certainty afforded by the conclusion of Electricity Market Reform and continued cost reduction and investment means that offshore wind is on course to provide around 10 per cent of the UK's electricity demand by 2020."
