在两个空军基地附近建设大型风电场可能招致敌对国家的“破坏活动”,一名议员发出警告。

Building a major wind farm near two air bases could invite "sabotage" from hostile nations, an MP has warned.

西萨福克选区保守党议员尼克·蒂莫西质疑在其选区内、靠近关键美军基地拉肯希斯皇家空军基地和米尔登霍尔皇家空军基地建设雷德米尔风电场的适宜性。

Nick Timothy, the Conservative MP for West Suffolk, questioned the suitability of building Redmere Wind Farm near the key US Air Force (USAF) bases of RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, which are in his constituency.

最多可在该选址建设32台风机,该选址跨越萨福克、诺福克和剑桥郡三郡交界。

Up to 32 turbines could be built at the site which encompasses the Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire borders.

瑞典国有开发商瓦滕福能源公司表示,该计划处于早期阶段,将就其提案征询居民意见。

Vattenfall, the Swedish state-owned developer behind the plans, which are at an early stage, said it would be consulting residents about its proposal.

该公司称,风机高度可能达721英尺(220米),投运后每年可为近22万户家庭供电。最终计划预计于2027年秋季提交。

The firm said the turbines - which might be up to 721ft (220m) tall - could power nearly 220,000 homes a year when operational. The final plans are due to be submitted in autumn 2027.

蒂莫西表示:“我已多次警告,在重要空军基地附近建设电池储能系统,无异于邀请敌对国家和其他势力实施破坏活动。”

"I have warned repeatedly that battery energy storage systems near important airbases is an invitation for hostile states and others to commit acts of sabotage," Timothy said.

“在基地附近建设巨型风电场也存在疑虑。”萨福克郡议会改革英国党规划内阁成员特里斯坦·盖尔呼应了这一担忧,他说:“这些设施位于飞行航道上,体量巨大,极其庞大。它们将影响空军基地的雷达系统。”

"There are also questions about building an enormous wind farm near the bases." His concerns were echoed by Tristan Gale, Reform UK's cabinet member for planning at Suffolk County Council, who said: "These things are in the flight path and they are huge, they are massive. "They are going to affect the radars for an air station."

英国国防部网站发布的指导方针规定,拟建风机高度达到11米(36英尺)或以上时,应咨询国防部意见。

Guidance published on the Ministry of Defence website, external states it should be consulted if a proposed turbine is 11m (36ft) high or more.

指导方针称:“风力涡轮机可能对国防部多项行动产生不利影响,包括雷达、地震记录设备、通信设施、海军行动和低空飞行。”

"Wind turbines can adversely affect a number of MoD operations including radars, seismological recording equipment, communications facilities, naval operations and low flying," it said.

鉴于项目规模,瓦滕福可绕过地方规划机构,直接向中央政府申请许可。希普希尔火车站周边场地已被指定用于该项目开发。

Due to the scale of the project, Vattenfall can bypass the local planning authority and instead seek permission directly from central government. Sites surrounding the Shippea Hill railway station have been earmarked for the development.

Vattenfall发言人表示:“雷德梅尔风电场能为更清洁、更安全的能源系统做出重大贡献,同时为当地带来就业岗位和投资。”

A Vattenfall spokesman said: "Redmere wind farm could make a major contribution to cleaner, more secure energy systems while bringing jobs and investment to the local area.

“Vattenfall正在开展设计方案和环境工作,因此我们希望当地居民与团队见面、了解更多情况,并从一开始就帮助塑造该项目。”

"Vattenfall is working on design proposals and environmental work, so we want local people to meet the team, learn more and help shape the project from the outset."

能源安全与净零部发言人表示,所有陆上风电项目均“须经过严格的规划程序”。

A spokesperson for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said all onshore wind projects were "subject to a rigorous planning process".

他们补充道:“会考虑当地社区的意见以及对环境和土地利用的影响,包括国防和安全问题。”拉肯希斯皇家空军基地也被联系置评。您有新闻线索吗?请通过下方联系我们。
