Yes, you're almost certainly right. What else is the Queen going to do with that 'land'?The lease will be really negotiated.
. . . was awarded a 22 year lease in 2004, after which it would have to be decommissioned. Does that mean it gets pulled down in 6 years or was the lease date started when the wind farm was commissioned (2014)?
Big old pier? Prisons?One of my best mates works installing these offshore wind farms and apparently there’s only 20 years in them anyway. The worry is what to do with all the concrete pylons they all stand on.
Put new turbines on to replace the old ones? Its not like we're going to run out of wind...Big old pier? Prisons?
Is it cost effective with them only lasting 20 years though? We should be looking at solar farms.Put new turbines on to replace the old ones? Its not like we're going to run out of wind...
I dunno to be honest but they cant cost that much to make, or use up that much energy making them, plus 20 years of free power isnt a bad deal.Is it cost effective with them only lasting 20 years though? We should be looking at solar farms.
Industry estimate for solar is 25-30 years although they will operate longer than that at lowering efficiency.Is it cost effective with them only lasting 20 years though? We should be looking at solar farms.
