The grouping's Energy Campaigner, Nick Rau said: “We are delighted EON is pushing forward with plans for a new wind farm off the Yorkshire Coast.The Humber Gateway wind farm will help tap into the abundant clean green energy resources we have in the UK. Offshore wind has a key role in the fight against climate change and helping us switch to a low-carbon economy.Projects like this are a springboard to a massive expansion of offshore wind energy.

"The Government must do more to develop this huge potential and ensure that Britain reaps the massive economic and environmental benefits of becoming a world leader in harvesting the wind.The Government has announced its aspiration for massive growth in offshore wind power, to generate as much as 25% of our electricity needs by 2020.But the Government must give more support for renewables if we are to meet our targets."
