UK MoD objects to four windfarms over radar interference in past year

The UK Ministry of Defence has formally objected to at least four windfarm proposals in the past year, citing risks of 'unacceptable interference' with military radar, including a late-June objection to an onshore project in County Durham that could blind detection within an RAF Low Flying Area. This marks a recurring friction point between defense requirements and the government's net-zero energy agenda, potentially slowing UK wind capacity expansion. The specific radar systems and the degree of interference remain undisclosed, and the planning outcomes are pending.
