Centrica’s plan for a £2bn wind farm off the coast of Norfolk has been snubbed by ministers, who rejected a request for it to qualify as one of the first wave of new energy projects.
The decision casts renewed doubt on the Race Bank plan, after The Telegraph revealed last month it would not go ahead unless planned subsidies were increased.
Ministers on Wednesday responded to months of industry lobbying by announcing an increase to the level of subsidies that will be paid to offshore wind farms that start operating in 2018-19.
