Former UK Energy Minister Charles Hendry is to become chairman of the firm behind plans for a major offshore wind farm in the UK.
Forewind’s Dogger Bank wind farm, 77 miles off the coast of Yorkshire, covers the largest area yet awarded for offshore wind farm development in UK waters.
Mr Hendry served as energy minister until last summer and was shadow energy minister before that.
Forewind said Mr Hendry would start with immediate effect.
