InvestNow News – 15th October – Milford – Offshore wind power comes to town

Article written by David Rigby, Milford – 24th September 2021

Offshore wind farms are impressive structures. The latest turbines stand 250m tall, with rotors sweeping an area three times the size of Eden Park, each turn generating enough power to run a house for two days.
