Although
the
UK
boasts
the
world’s
largest
offshore
wind
market,
the
government’s
inability
to
secure
firm
commitments
from
turbine
makers
to
open
shop
on
British
soil
had
been
one
of
its
biggest
headaches
as
it
has
hammered
together
its
future
renewables
policy.
As
such,
Areva’s
announcement
last
week
that
it
will
build
a
turbine
factory
near
Edinburgh
represented
a
breakthrough,
taking
some
of
the
sting
out
of
Vestas'
decision
to
walk
away
from
a
planned
factory
at
Sheerness,
and
Siemens'
more
recent
revelation
that
it
will
wait
until
next
year…
