UK Government offering £265m in renewable energy subsidies
Of the £265m, £200m will be funding offshore windfarms as this is currently the largest contributor to energy production in the UK (for renewables). £55m will be provided to emerging green technologies, including tidal, and the remainder will be used to help onshore projects, including wind and solar. It should be noted that the recent
