Wind projects in the UK

Why wind energy? 

The Climate Change Committee says that, by 2050, renewable energy could provide up to 90% of the energy we need.

Wind power will play a vital role in helping us to tackle climate change. It will provide the energy we need to fuel vehicles, heat buildings and power industries across the country.
