Re: Offshore Wind

[danieldwilliam]

I think running them back to an island and then from the island to shore might build in a single point of failure compared to just running some cables from the individual windfarms to one or two coasts.

I see from the article you just send me that developers are expecting to be in operation around 2030 - which implies a 4GW per annum build speed.
