DENMARK's Orsted A/S has unveiled the world's largest offshore wind farm, an
87-turbine complex in the Irish Sea covering an area nearly twice the size of
Hong Kong Island.
The Walney Extension at 145 square
kilometres, off the coast of northwest England has a generating capacity of 659
megawatts and is capable of powering 590,000 homes.
MHI Vestas Offshore Wind A/S and Siemens Gamesa Renewable
Energy SA provided the turbines
for the project that began construction in August 2015. The Vestas
eight-megawatt turbines stand 195 metres tall while the seven-megawatt version
by Siemens is 154 metres from sea level to blade tip.
