One of the biggest offshore wind farms in the world is to be built off the UK coast.
Npower’s Gwynt y Mor wind farm will sit near the resort of Rhyl, close to another wind farm on the north Wales coast.
It will be made up of between 150 and 250 turbines, making it the second largest in the UK.
It is expected to start to produce power from 2012 and will be capable of generating enough electricity for half a million homes.
Paul Cowling, managing director of npower renewables, said: “This is an important step towards realising this ambitious project.
“The decision underlines the Government’s commitment to massively expanding renewable energy generation in the UK to help tackle climate change and improve security of energy supply.”
Npower, owned by energy giant RWE, already owns one UK wind farm with another under construction.
