Researchers awarded share of 3 million EURO to study impact of offshore wind farms
Researchers at Oxford Brookes University have received a share of 3million EURO to study the socio-economic impact of offshore wind on the human environment.
The study is one of four projects announced as part of Vattenfall’s ground-breaking offshore wind research programme which is believed to be the largest-scale of its kind.
Academics at Oxford Brookes will analyse the social-economic effects of Vattenfall’s European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) from the construction stage through to becoming fully operational to help better understand how offshore wind developments can be maximised to benefit the region and local communities.
