Harnessing the power of offshore wind
London Array is arguably the most widely known UK offshore wind farm. Its sheer scale and proximity to Greater London mean it’s often referred to by politicians and in the press. At 1,000MW, the project is currently the world’s largest consented offshore wind farm and will be built in two phases.
Helping build a secure energy future for the UK
The London Array could eventually power up to 750,000 homes – about a quarter of Greater London – and reduce harmful CO2 emissions by 1.4 million tonnes a year. So it’ll make a big difference to the environment as well as helping provide a reliable electricity supply to south east England.
When’s it all happening?
Construction on the new onshore substation at Cleve Hill started in July 2009 and we started offshore construction in March 2011, when we installed the first of 177 foundations for the project. Construction of Phase One should be fully complete by the end of 2012. Take a look at our construction diary to find out what we’re working on at the moment.
