Navitus Bay Opponents Hail Atlantic Array’s Annulment

Opponents of the Navitus Bay offshore wind farm have welcomed the decision from RWE to terminate the Atlantic Array offshore wind farm off the Devon coast.

Namely, this has poured hope into Navitus Bay campaigners that the project against which they are fighting will also be stopped. “Hopefully the good news from Devon will also see the end of the Navitus Bay project, so that future generations can enjoy our uniquely beautiful cliffs and beaches,” the Daily Echo quotes Philip Dewhurst, spokesman of Poole and Christchurch Bay Association (PCBA), as saying.

RWE has annulled the Atlantic Array’s development, saying that it is not viable at present.
