• Orsted Horsea Three wind farm blamed for River Glaven pollution

    Updated: 2023-10-31 14:36:40
    Ongoing work to build what will be the single largest wind farm in the world off the north Norfolk coast has been blamed for “destroying” one of the region’s rivers. Works on the Hornsea Three offshore wind farm project began earlier this year, carving a 33 mile long and 262ft wide trench through the north Norfolk countryside as part of a major cable route. It will connect up to 231 turbines – with the potential to power three million homes . . .
