Helping to meetrenewable goal

The Hornsea zone will provide enough electricity to meet four per cent of all electricity demand in the UK.

The UK goal for renewable electricity generation is approximately 30 per cent. Hornsea’s offshore generation will account for approximately 12 per cent of that target.

The Hornsea zone is next to the River Humber, 200km south of Newcastle and 75km north of The Wash. Other zones are in the Irish Sea, the Bristol Channel, the Moray Firth, the Firth of Forth, off the coast of Norfolk and west of the Isle of Wight.
