Greenpeace Boulders May Disrupt Planned North Sea Windfarms

Greenpeace activists dropped approximately 15 tonnes of giant boulders off the Norfolk coast to create a barrier against bottom trawling and protect marine life. However, they were unaware that the targeted area coincided with the site earmarked for the massive Norfolk Vanguard windfarm project. Renewable energy developers and the German utility company RWE are now in talks with Greenpeace to verify the placement of the boulders and assess any potential impact on construction and undersea cables. While the developer is investigating the implications, Greenpeace maintains that the boulders do not pose a genuine obstacle to the windfarm.
