Government sources say Chinese firm Mingyang have pledged a £200million factory to make blades in the UK, and a £470million facility to produce turbines if the North Sea project gets the go ahead with their kit.
A GIANT wind farm powered by Chinese turbines is set for the green light — despite security fears.
Energy Minister James Murray said: “While we cannot comment on individual cases, the Government takes the security and resilience of UK energy infrastructure extremely seriously.
A crunch meeting is scheduled for tomorrow to discuss the investment plan, despite national security concerns being raised by the Ministry of Defence.
The deal would fly in the face of fears Beijing will use the wind farms to spy and could be used for underwater espionage.
