The UK is consolidating its lead in offshore wind energy, according to Ed Miliband.
Miliband unveiled the £4.4m grant to Clipper Windpower [a USA company] to develop offshore wind turbines.
As part of the £120m investment the government has promised over the next two years, Artemis Intelligent Power will also be given £1m to transfer existing technology from automotive to wind energy. Siemens Wind Power [German] will receive £1.1m in developing power converters for their larger offshore turbine.
Clipper is expected to employ 60 people by the end of 2010 [with the taxpayer paying £73,333 per person.]
