UK to Join Major European Wind Farm Project
The UK is partnering with nine European countries on a major offshore wind project in the North Sea. This initiative aims to enhance energy security and reduce reliance on fossil fuels by linking wind farms to multiple countries via interconnectors. While proponents believe this will lower prices, some worry that operators selling power to the highest bidder could increase electricity costs. The project, with a target of 100GW of joint capacity, also addresses concerns regarding the protection of offshore energy infrastructure and the continued commitment to wind power.
