About this analysis

The Evening Standard reports a £12 billion investment by RWE and KKR in two Norfolk offshore wind farms, with £1 billion from the National Wealth Fund, as Prime Minister Andy Burnham prepares for the Cop31 summit. Claims about bills, jobs and capacity are attributed to the people and bodies who made them. Nothing in the article misleads its reader.

What it gets right

  • “The financing includes £1 billion from the state-owned National Wealth Fund.”

    The Standard tells readers plainly how much public money is in the deal and that the fund is state-owned. It does not present the investment as purely private.

  • “RWE said the Vanguard projects represent one of the UK’s largest offshore wind developments, generating around 2.8 gigawatts, enough to supply three million homes.”

    The Standard attributes the capacity and homes figures to the developer rather than stating them in its own voice. The reader knows who the figures come from.

  • “The Government said the investment would support more than 2,400 jobs”

    The jobs estimate is attributed to the Government. The reader can see it is the Government's own projection and not an established outcome.
