Off shore wind turbines
MP for Beverley and Holderness, Graham Stuart, is encouraging as many people as possible who live in the Hedon area to attend a public event.
Power generation company e.on is hosting the event at Hedon Town Hall on November 11, to show people details of a major planning application in the area.
The company, which plans to build a major off-shore wind farm, now needs to get planning permission for the cables which will bring power ashore to a dedicated sub-station.
Graham said: “I have met with representatives from e.on who have shown me the planned route for the underground cables and the location of the sub-station.
“I fully support the provision of renewable energy generation and an off-shore wind farm should have the least impact on the people of Holderness than those on shore.
“The company still needs to connect that wind farm to the National Grid, however, and the plans appear to have been well prepared and should have a minimal effect on those living and working in the area.”
The e.on open day is due to take place at Hedon Town Hall, St Augustine’s Gate, Hedon, HU12 8EX on November 11 between 1pm and 8pm.
