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 minister is expected to visit several regions next month to explain the changes to local councils and businesses.
Trade unions welcomed the announcement but said they would watch closely how it is put into practice in smaller towns.
