Original: "MoD has objected to four windfarms in past year over radar interference fears" # UK # UnitedKingdom # Energy # Renewabl

The UK Ministry of Defence has objected to four windfarm developments in the past year, citing concerns that turbines interfere with radar systems used for air defence. The objections add another hurdle for renewable energy projects, with critics arguing radar concerns are repeatedly slowing the expansion of wind power needed to meet climate targets.
