The
application
has
been
submitted
to
the
local
authority
in
Sheerness,
Kent,
for
the
plant,
which
will
create
2,000
jobs
if
it
goes
ahead.
Vestas
has
stressed
repeatedly
that
it
will
only
proceed
if
it
receives
orders
for
its
new
V164
7MW
turbine
–
and
if
the
offshore
wind
sector
receives
what
it
deems
the
necessary
level
of
support
from
the
UK
government.
But
it
is
under
increasing
pressure
to
push
ahead
with
its
plans
for
the
new
factory,
as
the
timeframe
for
the
beginning
of
construction
at
the
giant
UK…
