London Array wind farm

London Array wind farm is the World's largest offshore wind farm was created by Danish company Dong Energy, the gas and electricity group E.ON UK and Abu Dhabi's future-energy initiative Masdar. More than 80 of the 175 turbine are used nowadays and it produces 630 megawatts into the national grid where it is an adequate amount to power 470,000 homes in London.

The plan started in July 2009 and the foundation of the first turbine was installed into the seabed in March 2011 which has been completed by the end of 2012. It has 147 m above mean sea level and it takes100 square kilometers in the sea. Each of the turbines is connected to the other.

The offshore wind farm has two advantages: more wind and avoid the developers on the onshore projects.

Masdar was gaining an experience of how the turbines was built and used.
