Mike O’Brien, a minister at the newly created Department of Energy and Climate Change, also said that further work is already underway to further cement Britain’s new found global wind power standing saying, “Overtaking Denmark is just the start, there are already five more offshore windfarms under construction that will add a further 938MW to our total by the end of next year.”
