The importance of renewable energy
The UK government has committed to ambitious plans that will put the country at the forefront of the fight for a greener future. As part of these plans, we as a society need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reach Net Zero by 2050.
To achieve this, we will need to change how we heat our homes, power our vehicles and, importantly, how we generate our electricity.
Renewable energy is central to supporting the UK’s ambition to lead the world in combatting climate change, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and embracing a future where renewable energy powers our homes and businesses.
To meet our climate goals as a country, we need to quadruple our offshore wind generation – that means having 50GW of generating capacity installed and operating by 2030.

Visualisations
The size, number and positioning of our turbines have yet to be decided. But at this early stage we’ve created indicative 3D visualisations to show potential views of the Morecambe Offshore Windfarm from a range of onshore locations.
