Scottish Power Renewables have announced that they are going ahead with a £2.5bn investment in building a huge wind farm off the coast of Suffolk. The 102 turbine wind farm will generate enough energy to power half a million homes, and its construction will create up to 3,000 jobs. Jonathan Cole, Scottish Power Renewables’ managing director, said “We will be creating hundreds of high-quality jobs directly employed by us and then thousands of jobs in and around the area servicing those activities.”
