Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm could ‘change the history’ of the city
ByDavid McPhee
The boss of Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm has said that he believes the development could ‘change the history’ of the city.
Speaking during a boat visit to the new wind farm, also known as the European Offshore Wind Development Centre (EOWDC), Vattenfall project director Adam Ezzamel said yesterday that he wants the project to change Aberdeen from a traditional “oil and gas hub” to a city known for renewable energy.
Once hooked up to the grid, the new wind farm will supply enough electricity to power 80,000 homes, with one turn of a turbine powerful enough to supply an average house with enough electricity for an entire day.
