Blow to clean energy drive as major windfarm ditched

   Blow to clean energy drive as major windfarm ditched-

A big wind power project in the UK called Hornsea 4 has been cancelled by a Danish company
named Ørsted. This is a setback for clean energy in the UK.

  What Was It?

• It was supposed to be one of the biggest windfarms in the world.

• With 180 turbines, it could power around 1 million homes.

• It was planned in the North Sea.

  Why Was It Cancelled?

• The cost to build it went up a lot (because of expensive materials and interest rates).

• It became too risky and too expensive.

• The government didn’t offer enough support or adjust to current prices.

• The company expects to lose hundreds of millions of pounds.

Why It Matters

  This isn’t the only project being cancelled. Other wind projects in the UK and US have also
stopped. The whole wind energy industry is struggling with high costs right now.

  Will It Come Back?

   Maybe. Ørsted said if things improve (like costs go down), they might try again.
   The UK government still says it supports clean energy.

  In Short:

  The project was too costly, so it got cancelled. It’s a hit to green energy progress, but not the end.
