UK Ministry of Defence objects to four windfarms over radar interference
Original: "MoD has objected to four windfarms in past year over radar interference fears" # UK # UnitedKingdom # Energy # Renewabl
The UK Ministry of Defence has raised objections to four windfarm projects in the past year, citing concerns that turbines could interfere with radar systems used for air defence. The objections add another hurdle for renewable energy developers, as radar interference is a recurring obstacle to expanding wind power in Britain.
Why now: The tensions between national defence infrastructure and renewable energy targets are a live policy debate in the UK.
