Five areas in the sea off Cornwall and Wales have been earmarked as possible floating wind farms.
The Crown Estate - responsible for leasing UK seabed space for renewable energy projects - has mapped out the potential offshore areas to deploy the technology, which they say is"the next frontier in green growth".
And the floating turbines can be sited in deeper water to capture higher winds than conventional offshore wind farms can take. The sites in the Celtic Sea are rich in natural resources, especially wind, and if development goes ahead they would be open for competitive tender next year and home to the first generation of commercial-scale floating wind farms.
As part of a drive towards green energy production, the five areas would have the potential to deliver four gigawatts of power by 2035 - enough to run nearly four million homes.Five areas in the sea off Cornwall and Wales have been earmarked as possible floating wind farms And the Crown Estate believes that further development in the Celtic Sea could generate another 20 gigawatts by 2045.More on Energy
