SSE And RWE Tweak North Falls Project Following Public Input, DCO Application Now Expected In 2024
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.
This is the sub-heading.
RWE and SSE Renewables have made a number of changes to the North Falls offshore wind project in the UK, a proposed extension to the existing 504 MW Greater Gabbard, whose implementation will likely move the planned date for filing a development consent order (DCO) application into 2024. The most significant changes to the project plans include removing the northern array area and reducing the number and height of wind turbines.
These two paragraphs introduce the article.
The developers are tweaking the project following a review of the feedback received from the North Falls statutory consultation held during the summer.
Initially, North Falls comprised two offshore array areas totalling 150 square kilometres and will now have a single array occupying 95 square kilometres. This also moves the wind farm farther offshore, with its closest point to shore now being 42 kilometres, 20 kilometres farther out at sea than proposed originally.
It looks like RWE and SSE Renewables have listened to the public and acted.
But then the developers are two of the most experienced in the UK.
The Day I Saw The Rolling Stones And Bo Diddley
With the release of their new album, I had to look up where I saw the Stones.
I was still at school and I knew I saw them at the Regal Edmonton cinema, which is now a Sainsburys supermarket.
The Internet says they played there on the 2nd of October 1963, when they toured with Bo Diddley, who I also remember seeing at the same venue.
This Wikipedia entry is entitled The Rolling Stones British Tour 1963, also states that the Everly Brothers were on the bill.
It was nearly sixty years ago.
A year later, I saw a similar gig on the 20th of October at the same venue, with The Animals, Carl Perkins, The Nashville Teens, The Quotations, Tommy Tucker and Elkie Brooks. Who was Tommy Tucker?
Those were the days!
