Eneco Wind UK, based in the Netherlands, won the Isle of Wight licence, which is one of nine sites around the UK earmarked for large offshore wind farm projects.
It is less useful for ash which has yet to fall and instead is distributed, in clumps and layers, at various altitudes and thus in different wind conditions through a large patch of atmosphere.

At the same time, consumers got an extra bill to support wind farms that, because of the inconstancy of the wind, operate at 25% of their capacity (figure from the British Wind Energy Association) or 8% (according to E.on, a large operator of UK wind farms).
In other words, VCs may ultimately wind-up holding a large number of companies at inflated valuations.
Mr Wheelhouse said only 21% of planning applications for large-scale wind farms considered by government-appoint planning officials in 2012-13 were approved.
As a result, transmission constraints in the United States and the European Union are threatening to table large-scale wind and solar energy projects under development.

The threat of a few strong tornadoes, large hail and thunderstorm wind gusts remained in northeastern Texas, southwestern Arkansas, extreme southeastern Oklahoma and northwestern Louisiana, CNN Meteorologist Sean Morris said.
It is thought too that as the atmospheric CO2 concentration increases, as it must with the continued burning of fossil fuels, the kinetic energy generation from the atmosphere will decrease thus further diminishing the amount of energy that may be sensibly extracted by wind-turbines on the very large scale.
