Energy sector warns of hurdle to UK realising
renewables bid
SUPPLY chain problems for wind power projects may be the
biggest hurdle to the UK fully realising new plans unveiled by
the government last week for 25 gigawatts of further offshore
capacity by 2020, developers and industry groups said.
However, proposals that could see the capacity added at 11
new sites off the UK under a simplified new process unveiled by
the Crown Estate — which manages the UK's seabed
— received a largely favourable reaction.
