Offshore Dorset Wind Farm
Surely the announcement of a £1billion investment in wind farm off the coast of Dorset is a matter of civic pride and not a threat. That’s the hope which Guy Madgwick, Director of Business at Eneco, the company hoping to undertake the project, expressed in the Bournemouth Echo.
Not only could the construction create up to 2,300 jobs, but the site itself could generate power for approximately 587,000 homes.
The area being considered for the new wind farm is roughly 25km out to sea and stretches from south of the Needles on the Isle of Wight to the Purbecks. It will only be visible in the distance on clear days so could not be considered an eyesore.
The UK is apparently the windiest country in Europe and with wind generated power currently the most developed and effective of alternative energy sources, the project seems to present an exciting win-win situation.
