Kerry-Leigh Bradfield, Scira’s Communications Manager commented: “Scira has now completed the Sheringham Shoal Environmental Impact Assessment and our findings indicate that the project will not have any long term adverse effects on the environment. Furthermore, this project will make a significant contribution to the UK’s regional and national renewable energy targets and will also have the potential to generate a positive effect on both the local and regional economy.”
