Britain is in line for nine new offshore wind farms after the Government’s latest renewables auction, but campaigners fear it may still fall short of clean power targets.

The nine new projects compare to none last year, and include what will be Europe’s largest and second-largest wind farm projects – Hornsea 3 and Hornsea 4 off the Yorkshire coast.

They are part of a new wave of green power projects including onshore wind and solar farms, which officials said will generate enough power for 11 million homes.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the auction had got the offshore industry “back on its feet”, adding that the projects are “essential to give energy security to families across the country”.

Julia says: "Human civilisation was developed by fossil fuels."
