The sale is the energy giant’s next strategic step in reinventing BP and helping it become a lower carbon company.

The first project to be built is the 38MW Balenahalli development, which will generate clean electricity to power more than 145,000 people.

The oil giant says this was achieved in less than five years of the plant’s operations and it is equivalent to the annual emissions from about 1.25m cars.

The organisations intend to scale up efforts to advance progress on sustainability in Asia and the Pacific.

New England is expected to attract AUD$12.7 billion in investment and support thousands of jobs.

Politicians from across the continent have stated a new European offshore wind framework is needed to help overcome the barriers presented during the deployment of joint and hybrid projects between countries.

Over this period, petrol engines have seen a 40% decline, while diesel car sales have dropped by almost 60%.

The project is expected to have an annual energy production of 200,000MWh, which will result in an annual offset of 106,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

With this addition, the wind manufacturing company has surpassed 1GW of onshore wind energy projects in the country.

That’s according to new statistics published by RenewableUK, which show that next year’s auctions for contracts to generate clean power could have a massive positive effect on the economy if the government takes steps to maximise the benefits available.
