Developers have pulled the plug on one of the UK’s biggest offshore wind projects.

Danish renewables firm Ørsted said its decision to “discontinue” the 2.4 GW Hornsea 4 wind farm “in its current form” was a result of rising supply chain costs and higher interest rates.

A government spokesperson said the government would “work with Ørsted to get Hornsea 4 back on track”.
