The government announced on Tuesday that the UK has been granted planning permission for Dong Energy’s Hornsea Two wind farm project in the North Sea, off the coast of Yorkshire. This will pave the way for the growth and development of the world’s largest offshore wind project.

Britain’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said that if the Hornsea Two is successfully built, it will contain 300 turbines which will be able to generate around 1.8 gigawatts (GW) of electricity - this is enough to power around 1.8 million homes.

Although the project will take more time to come to fruition, plans do seem positive with the hope that the project could be in a position to start generating electricity by 2020.
