Burvic Bank Offshill Wind Farm Project approved for North Sea

One of the world’s largest offshore wind farms has been approved by the Scottish government.

Bervik Bank Project – Located at a distance of 23 miles from the east coast in the North Sea – can generate enough electricity to meet the annual energy needs of every house in Scotland.

Conservation group It was urged to rejection the plan on its impact on seabards in the area And called it “very dark day for cabards”.

The Deputy Minister Kate Forbes said that the approval was given after “very careful consideration”.

St. ABB’s head is located about 23 miles (38 km) from the National Nature Reserve and Bass Rock’s vital seabard colonies, the developers want to construct SSE renewable 307 turbines.

The project inspired five charities under the leadership of RSPB Scotland to urge the ministers to reject schemes that are predicted that they will kill thousands of cabards.

The Scottish government stated that the approval is subject to the production of a detailed seabard compensation scheme for the company, stating how to deal with any adverse effects.

That plan will be required to be approved by Scottish ministers before the project proceedings.

Kate Forbes said: “The decision to consent to Barvik Bank is a major step towards achieving Scotland’s pure zero and dealing with climate crisis as well as supporting national energy security and increasing our green economy.”

He said that this was also an important decision for the renewable sector and the government would continue to work with developers to “balance the needs of people and nature”.

The UK Energy Secretary Ed Milliband said: “We welcome this decision that puts us within a distance of its offshore wind goals to give us clean power – promotes our mission to create a clean energy superpower to Britain.”

He said that it “took a big step forward in Britain’s energy security and got the bill below for good”.

Scottish Secretary Ian Murray said that the project had the ability to make a huge contribution to the development of the UK government and clean energy missions and to build clean power jobs in Scotland.

He said that it outlined “large -scale potential” clean energy “generating jobs, money and opportunities for Scottish families”.

The SSE renewable stated that the project had the ability to create thousands of jobs and injected £ 8.3bn in the economy during its lifetime.

Managing Director Stephen Wheeler said that consent was “very welcome”.

He said that the project may increase the “fast Scotland operating renewable energy capacity” and help to give “homegron, inexpensive and safe clean energy”.

However, RSPB Scotland Director Anne McCall described it as “very dark day for sebards”.

“This is really a terrible decision on poor development,” he said.

“Bervik bank will be disastrous for Scotland’s globally important beaches that are already facing dangerous decline.

“In addition, its effects are so harmful that they will make the relative effects of other windforms significantly more.”

She said that she fears that the consent may extend to extinction of some of the most preferred seabard species of Scotland “.

He insisted that he supported the offshore wind but “in the right places”.

The National Trust for the Interim Director of Protection and Policy of Scotland, Dyroid Herns said the decision was “deeply disappointing”.

He said, “More than that, we are afraid that it will cause Saint ABB’s head National Nature Reserve’s seabard colonies and significant damage elsewhere on the beach.”

“As we saw in our submission, the mitigation proposed by the developers decreased greatly by decreasing the expected effects in terms of disintegration.”

He said that he would monitor the bird population in the reserve and report any effect.

The news came only a few days after President Trump made the latest launch in a series of attacks towards using Pawan Turbines to generate electricity.

Speaking on his journey to Scotland, he said: “You fly and you see these windmills everywhere, ruin your beautiful farms and valleys and kill their birds, and if they are trapped in the sea, you are ruining your oceans. Stop the windmills.”

President is a long time critic In turbines, Holiroads and a long battle in courts to prevent wind energy development from Aberdeen to North Sea and lost.

Trump argued that the project, which included 11 wind turbines, would spoil the scene with his golf course in Meni.
