July 2021. During this period, firms involved in the construction or maintenance of wind farms within territorial waters should look to regularise the position of their workers. Those who require leave to enter the UK should have the appropriate permission to do so under the Immigration Rules”....
At the end of last year, the country had 33 fully operational offshore wind parks with a combined capacity of 5.83 GW and an additional eight plants under construction, which will add some 4.58 GW of new capacity. The UK’s share in Europe's cumulative installed offshore wind power capacit...

In its current form, the UK wind industry will find it hard to provide the types of secure ongoing employment that oil and gas historically has. Most jobs are in the construction and maintenance of wind farms, with the latterthreatened by automation. Without public investment and a targeted in...
The model is based on BMRS data, which does not include embedded generation, such as small wind and solar farms. Instead these appear as lower demand as far as BMRS is concerned. The model results however are not affected. We have assumed that, on top of wind and solar, the UK has ...
Under a Creative Commons license open accessHighlights Abstract To achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions requires a transition from fossil fuel use to renewables, and eliminating GHG emissions from agriculture, construction and waste. Five sensitive intervention points (SIPs) could help change...
The estimate was for the decommissioning costs associated with 37 offshore wind farms at various stages of development, with some in construction and others preconstruction (BEIS, 2018a). 5 For example, in the context of the Canadian mining sector, Guzman observes that the amount to be ...

Altogether, 19 spatial nodes are used to describe 16 industrial sites (see Figure S3) and three offshore locations that can support long-term geological storage of CO2 or offshore wind farms. Each industrial site is described with their heating requirements and process emissions, and these ...
The high solar and wind energy level led the UK government last year to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It has developed a “clean zero” plan, under which the United Kingdom must reduce greenhouse gas emissions to near zero by 2050. The plan involves a phased transition to such products ...
