MP opposes wind farm
AN MP has added his voice to opposition to one of the world’s largest offshore wind farms.
Brighton Kemptown MP Simon Kirby has written to Energy Secretary Ed Davey MP asking him to look again at the recent decision to approve the Rampion wind farm eight miles off the coast of Sussex.
The 175-turbine farm is expected to bring in £2 billion of investment, create 750 jobs and could provide power for up to 45,000 homes.
The MP is worried about the impact on wildlife and visual intrusion from the land.
