14 DAY TRIAL // This July 4, the world's largest offshore wind farm officially opened in England. The farm has been fully operational since a few months ago, but it took a while for an opening ceremony to be organized.
The farm, named the London Array, has as energy generating capacity of 630MW. It is made up of 175 turbines, all of which are installed in the Thames Estuary, Business Green informs.
Conservationists say that the construction of this offshore wind farm proves that Britain is both capable and willing to reduce its carbon footprint by investing in green-oriented projects.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, David Cameron stated as follows:
“This is a great day for Britain and a big win for renewable energy.
“London Array shows you can build large scale renewable energy projects right here in Britain. This is because when it comes to clean energy, the UK has one of the clearest investment climates globally.”
