Wind power - Britain to expand wind power project

The United Kingdom is ready to inform the nine new wind farms can improve its capacity to produce offshore wind energy.

Nowadays, the British government will announce the winners of the third round and the highest bids for the right to develop nine wind farms.

75000000000 pounds project is expected to generate 70 000 jobs in the country by 2020. But the government failed to convince all leading producer of wind turbines to open plants in Great Britain.

As much as 6,000 turbines will be needed over the next ten years.

Turbines required for the project are most likely imported from Denmark or Germany.

The nine wind farms will be able to provide enough power for more than half of the houses, but only when the wind blows.

But, says the Carbon Trust, a company created by the government to encourage the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions that offshore wind energy should be developed faster and cheaper to attract investors.
