Opening Of The Scroby Sands Offshore Wind Farm

EDM number 947 in 2004-05, proposed by Anthony D Wright on 16/03/2005.

That this House congratulates E.ON UK on the commissioning of its offshore wind farm at Scroby Sands off the coast of Great Yarmouth; notes that its 30 turbines will provide 60MW of renewable energy, enough to supply around 41,000 homes, while displacing the emission of 75,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum; further notes the contribution the Scroby Sands Visitors Centre is making to the Great Yarmouth local tourist economy; further notes that the site is acting as artificial reef to the benefit of local marine life; and welcomes the contribution that Scroby Sands will make to meeting the UK Government's renewable energy targets and its commitments under the Kyoto Treaty.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
