British vigorously promote offshore wind power generation

London-based British wind Energy and Climate Change, published by the Ministry of the latest data show that the UK has become the world's largest offshore wind power station country, surpassing the prior at the top of Denmark. The department also proposed to further promote the development of offshore wind power plant plans, so as to British families with enough electricity. Researchers predict that by 2020, Britain's offshore wind generating capacity accounts for almost half of the global market.


According to British media reports, two in the new 360 million-watt wind turbines, that is, wind power stations, the British in this form of renewable energy established a leading position. These two wind power stations located near the eastern coast of England to meet the 130,000 households with electricity, is expected early in 2009 can be fully put into use, and to the national grid transmission. Them after completion to make Britain's offshore wind power generation volume reached 597 million kilowatts, while Denmark is 423 million kilowatts.



Now, the United Kingdom from the shore and offshore wind power stations reach 30 billion watts of electricity, enough supply of 1.5 million families. Among them, the sea wind power generation accounted for 20%. Moreover, where there are 5 to build power stations, to the end of 2009 can increase the total 938 million kilowatts of electricity.


The newly formed wind Energy and Climate Change, the United Kingdom Department of the Secretary of State Mike O'Brien said: "The offshore wind can greatly help the Government to realize a substantial increase in energy from renewable energy goals. Catching up with Denmark is only a beginning. We also have Another five offshore wind power station is under construction, we are in the future can increase the total generating capacity of 25 billion watts evaluation of the projects. "



In the field of offshore wind generation position of the world's first Britain, now plans to expand the scale of future wind power plant to speed up the development of offshore wind power station.



So far, the largest independent power plant generating capacity is over 9000 million watts, but to build power stations in the highest power output will reach 504 million kilowatts. One years later, five of the four power stations will be put into use, when Britain's offshore wind generating capacity will reach 1030 million watts maximum.


According to the field of wind power generation industry the results of the consultation, the British Government plans to further increase in the sea wind power generation 25 billion watts, and intends to develop at an acceptable level in 2009 to make relevant decisions.


The British Government has set a goal, that is, by 2020, 15% of the electricity demand should come from renewable energy sources. Britain's first offshore wind power station in December 2000 allowed the construction, location on the northeastern part of England Blaise harbor, from then on, wind energy has become the world's fastest growing renewable energy resources.


In accordance with the British Wind Energy Association said, it is estimated that this trend will continue until the use of wind energy to reduce costs, and to meet international reduction of carbon dioxide emissions to prevent climate change and urgent needs. Britain and its surrounding waters of Europe's most powerful wind, in the provision of renewable energy power generation and carbon dioxide emissions will not produce attractive
