We lead the world in o shore wind: the UKalready generates more power from o shorewind than the rest of Europe combined. We alsohave an excep onally strong pipeline of projectsgoing out to 2020 and beyond. O shore wind is a clean and almost limitless source of energy,right on our doorstep which will help us improveour energy security, cut our emissions, and createnew industries and employment around theCountry. O shore wind is already an important part of the UK energy mix, and this is just thebeginning of our deployment plans.
