At 20 times the size of the world’s current largest floating wind farm, a new renewable energy project is being built off the coast of England and Wales.
Called “Gwynt Glas” or “blue wind” in Welsh, it will provide power for around 927,400 homes. While an exact site has not yet been confirmed, a 1,500 square kilometre patch of the Celtic Sea 70km off the coast is being assessed for its suitability.
Kincardine off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland is currently the world’s largest floating wind farm generating around 50MW of power. But this new project from French energy company EDF and DP, a renewable energy company from Ireland, will be 20 times as large, generating around 1GW of power.
The offshore wind farm will bring opportunities for both local and national communities, says Scott Sutherland, EDF Renewables UK Head of Offshore Wind.
“This is a great start to 2022 for us and we are very pleased to announce this partnership with DP Energy. euronews - link - Rosie Frost - link - DP Energy - link - more like this - link
