The company that owns Scroby Sands wind farm says a team has been removing fire debris at low tide.

It could take weeks to determine the cause of a fire on an offshore wind turbine, its owner has said.

It said the majority of damage was caused to the nacelle - the enclosure at the top of the tower which housed the generating components - and that it may take weeks to determine the cause of the blaze."An electrical fault is the most likely cause," Mr Smith added. "There's a lot of electrical components in those things and electrical items are the most likely things to generate heat.

Ana Musat, executive director of policy and engagement at RenewableUK, said: "There's a lot of work that goes in on a regular basis to stress test the equipment and ensure that we install really good quality components. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency also said it was liaising with RWE, the local authority and environmental stakeholders, to ensure an appropriate clean-up operation was carried out.
