UK Approves Building of Major Offshore Wind Farm [1]

The British government has approved construction of a 500-megawatt offshore wind farm in Cumbria, northwest England, the government said on Thursday.

It said the Duddon Sands farm, planned near Walney Island off the coast of Barrow-in-Furness, was one of the country's three largest offshore wind farms approved so far. It would comprise up to 139 turbines.
Morecambe Wind Ltd, a consortium of Scottish Power, Eurus Energy from Japan and Denmark's state-controlled DONG Energy, is to build and operate the farm.
