The Island’s MP, Andrew Turner, has joined MHI Vestas Offshore Wind in launching an exciting new project which celebrates the Island-based manufacturer’s contribution to the UK economy, advances in offshore wind technology and the rapidly falling cost of electricity from offshore wind.
To commemorate this industry success, MHI Vestas Offshore Wind has launched The Parliamentary Blades Project. The project will follow blade components signed by over 30 MPs and Peers, including Andrew Turner, and dignitaries from across the UK during a reception at the Houses of Parliament at the end of 2016, from production to installation and into operation.
The signed components will be split between 2 blades; 1 destined for Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farm in Morecambe Bay. The second will be 1 of the very first offshore wind turbine blades ever manufactured in the UK and then exported to a Continental European offshore wind farm in Germany (Borkum Riffgrund 2 Offshore Wind Farm).
