The UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary Amber Rudd today chose to mark World Environment Day by visiting the Thames Barrier, where she commented on today’s announcement on ScottishPower Renewables and Siemens’ deal for East Anglia ONE.
Commenting on the deal, Amber Rudd said: “This massive financial investment is great news for East Anglia and for Hull, which will now become a real clean energy manufacturing hub.
“In addition to supporting thousands of UK jobs, this project shows we are driving down the costs of offshore wind; another demonstration of how the Government is developing the full potential of the offshore wind sector at the lowest cost to bill payers.”
