| 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.
