The country's largest offshore wind farm, built forty kilometres off the north coast, has started sending electricity to the national grid.
Its 92 turbines can produce enough power for around 600,000 homes. The project took six years to plan and build and employed more than 2,000 people at its peak.
The opposition said it would examine the details carefully, but several of its members signalled support for the main idea during the debate.
Regional governments will receive guidance from the ministry over the coming weeks. Officials said they would review the first results after one year.
