Wind energy in Europe is cheaper than nuclear
In clean energy overcome the next barrier. The most affordable form of energy in some countries of Europe has been wind power. Before the first line of the rating was occupied by a nuclear power plant. In the North sea area is preparing several large projects for the construction of offshore wind turbines. Wind energy in the North sea area in Europe is about a third cheaper than energy from nuclear power plants. Now in the North sea are 3,000 coastal turbines. By 2030, they will need to develop 4 GW, which accounted for 7% of all produced in European countries electricity.
In Europe, there is a real boom marine wind generators, is preparing several large projects. The project Dogger Bank along the North East coast of Scotland will build 400 powerful wind turbines. The installation will generate 1.2 GW of energy, which is enough to provide 2 million homes.
Next year in the Netherlands will be commissioned a marine wind farm of 150 wind turbines. After 10 years in the country can receive the cheapest and the world's largest marine wind farm. The government is preparing a wind farm project with a capacity of 700 megawatts. One kW. h will cost about 8 cents.
The largest investment in offshore wind in Europe is carried out Denmark, Sweden and Portugal.
Wind energy every year is cheaper, and the construction of wind turbines requires lower cost. Before the availability of fossil fuels made wind energy a disadvantage, but the trend is gradually changing. In the North sea have stopped work on several major projects for the extraction of oil. Because of this system for the installation of offshore structures remained without work, and the prices for their services declined. Now shipping the turbines in the sea is cheaper.
The cost of wind energy has decreased from-for falling of prices of oil and steel. Requirements for operation of wind turbines have become less stringent, and industries have the opportunity to produce wind turbines in large scale.
P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
