Ed Miliband, Secretary of State DECC

“Our coastline means the offshore wind industry has the potential to employ tens of thousands of workers by 2020, manufacturing, transporting, installing and operating new turbines.

“With strong government backing, the UK is consolidating its lead in offshore wind energy. We already have more offshore wind energy than any other country, we have the biggest wind farm in the world about to start construction, and now we’ll see the biggest turbine blades in the world made here in Britain.

“It will take an active government to meet our 2020 committment  and the £120 million investment we are making this year and next in the wind industry will make that happen.”
