The UK could see an explosion in the number of wind farms on its coastlines following the announcement of a new partnership between Great British Energy and the Crown Estate.

Sir Keir Starmer and Ed Miliband today announced the £8.3billion partnership, which they said would “unleash billions of investment in clean power”.

The Crown Estate estimated it will lead to up to 20-30GW of new offshore wind developments by 2030 – enough to power the equivalent of almost 20 million homes.

The new partnership could make way for £60 billion of private investment into UK based energy, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said.
