Rishi Sunak has hailed a \u201cmassive\u201d investment deal in a UK wind farm from COP28 in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, the Prime Minister confirmed UAE state-owned firm Masdar and German-based renewables firm RWE will join the project, investing up to \u00a311billion.<\/p>\n

Mr Sunak said the deal was \u201cmassive\u201d and would help Dogger Bank wind farm become the largest in the world.<\/p>\n

The PM told reporters in the UAE: \u201cI\u2019m pleased to announce a new deal between Masdar and RWE, which includes a commitment to jointly invest up to \u00a311billion into the UK\u2019s new wind farm at Dogger Bank \u2013 which will be the biggest in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, by the way, this comes just days after we announced \u00a330 billion of investment at our Global Investment Summit\u2026 and \u00a321 billion of investment from South Korea.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve quite frankly never seen a week like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dogger Bank wind farm will be completed by 2026, and is expected to generate a combined energy capacity of 3.6 gigawatts, enough to power millions of homes.<\/p>\n

It produced power for the first time in October this year, being hailed as a major step forward for Britain\u2019s energy security.<\/p>\n

Despite reports that Mr Sunak\u2019s recent delay to certain Net Zero targets may leave him an outcast at the global eco summit, the Prime Minister denied any world leaders had raised concerns about the UK\u2019s recent changes.<\/p>\n

He claimed fellow world leaders had in fact been \u201cgrateful\u201d for his stance.<\/p>\n
