Yorkshire Water has launched a preliminary market engagement exercise for on-shore wind turbine procurement.

Yorkshire Water has entered into a 10-year power purchase agreement with Shell Energy Europe Limited to buy renewable energy generated by the Thanet and Dogger Bank offshore wind farms.

Philip Dunne MP, Chairman of the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC), has written to Minister Kwasi Kwarteng MP at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy highlighting remaining barriers for expansion of offshore wind energy generation in the UK and how they can be overcome.

The GMB union is calling for UK renewable energy subsidies to be funded via general taxation, describing the Renewables Obligation Certificate system as “unfit for purpose.”

Severn Trent Water is making further progress with its work with East Midlands Airport and radar specialists, Aveillant, to develop and test the world’s first 3D holographic radar system to support its two wind turbines at Derby.

Planning permission has been granted for Scout Moor two - creating England's largest onshore wind farm.

United Utilities and Peel Energy have submitted plans to expand an existing East Lancashire wind farm on Scout Moor by 16 new turbines.

As a result of Severn Trent Water’s work with radar technology specialist, Aveillant, and East Midlands Airport, to get its wind turbines turning, Derby will soon benefit from the installation of the world’s first fully operational 3D holographic radar system.

Scout Moor Wind Farm Expansion Limited (SMWFEL) is to remove and relocate some of its planned new turbines as a result of local community feedback.
