ScottishPower owner leads wind farm bid

THE Glasgow-based offshore wind business of Spanish energy giant Iberdrola has submitted two bids for offshore wind farms off the French coast as the growth of the green energy industry continues to accelerate.

A consortium led by Iberdrola, owner of ScottishPower, wants to establish wind farms with a combined capacity of almost one gigawatt off the Brittany and Atlantic coasts that would produce enough power for 1.2 million homes.
