Danish renewables giant says Miliband must consider ‘worst-case scenario’ of its assets losing a decade of possible lifetime when weighing environmental benefits of newcomer project
Orsted has warned UK energy secretary Ed Miliband that its Irish Sea offshore wind assets could be shuttered a decade earlier than otherwise if he makes an “essentially irreversible” ruling against it in its wind theft dispute with EnBW and BP.
The Danish renewables giant has been caught up in various disputes with developers of new offshore wind farms, arguing that wind wakes they will generate will act as a wrecking ball to the economics of its existing assets in UK waters.
