By 2020 the UK aims to have reduced its CO2 emissions by over 30% compared to 1990 levels. It is obliged under EU laws to generate 15% of its energy from renewable sources by this date. The largest single source of this renewable energy is set to come from wind.

Offshore wind energy has been the world’s fastest growing renewable energy source for the last 8 years. As the costs of generating fall and the urgent international need to tackle CO2 emissions and prevent climate change grows, it’s a trend that’s set to continue. As the windiest country in Europe and world leader in offshore technology, the potential exists to meet the UKs energy needs several times over.

Development has already been happening around the Kent coast with the construction of some of the largest projects in the world to date.
