He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him. It was inaugurated yesterday off the coast of Foreness Point in Kent, the offshore wind farm largest in the world. Located on the east coast of Great Britain, the "Thanet Offshore Wind Farm”Was created by the Swedish company Vattenfall, a leader in Europe in the energy development sector.Let's take a look at the record numbers. Equipped with over 100 wind turbines of 3 MW each, which will become 4 within the next 340 years, the plant will be able to develop a total power of 300 MW. The park covers an area of 35 square km 12 km from the coast, in waters with a maximum depth of 25 meters.
The project, which took only two years, was inaugurated by the Minister for Energy, Chris Huhne, who called it a "milestone towards the enhancement of renewable energy in the UK". The president and CEO of the Swedish company also attended the inauguration, Øystein Løseth.
Indeed, Thanet park could help Britain to achieve a fundamental goal: increase by 30% the overall capacity ofoffshore wind of the country managing to satisfy the electricity demand of approx 200 thousand households.
At the moment, in fact, only the 3% of the energy produced in Great Britain comes from renewable sources, against the British government's target of reaching 15% by 2020.
