Galloper offshore wind farm gets green light

Galloper Wind Farm Limited have been granted permission by Government to construct a 504MW wind farm off the coast of Suffolk and related infrastructure at Sizewell which will connect the wind farm to the electricity grid system.  

The developer estimates that the 140 turbine development will provide enough electricity to power the equivalent of as many as 500,000 homes a year when completed in 2017.  

The project could generate around £18 to 20 million of investment in Suffolk and create around 600 jobs across the country.
