UK approves second Irish Sea windfarm in a month

The UK government has given permission for another windfarm between the Isle of Man and UK.

Last month it approved an application for the Morgan offshore windfarm, which will contain just under 100 turbines.

Now it's given the go-ahead for the Morecambe Offshore Wind Farm a few miles to the southeast, which will have another 35 turbines.

Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy and Net zero, has approved the proposals.
