Large scale wind

The UK is the windiest country in Europe and the resource is much greater during the colder months of the year, when energy demand is at its highest. Wind technology is providing clean, reliable energy in many countries. But few have the potential that our country enjoys. We are in an excellent position to provide more electricity from our wind resource, but a major step change in needed in the number of consents being granted both onshore and offshore.

Technology is also being developed to store wind power as hydrogen which can then be used to power fuel cells in power stations and in vehicles.

The wind industry could bring thousands of new jobs to the UK, many of them using offshore engineering skills used by the declining oil and gas industry. If offshore wind were developed to supply just 10% of the UK's electricity, then 36,000 jobs could be created.
