The Dogger Bank wind farm will be bigger than any other in the world when it is fully operational, with 277 wind turbines.
The world’s largest offshore wind farm has started feeding power into the British grid for the first time as turbines started spinning at the site.
Although far from complete, if Dogger Bank’s 277 wind turbines were producing at maximum capacity at midday on Tuesday, it would have been able to produce around 10% of all the electricity being used at that point. The turbines that are installed at the site — around 130 kilometres off the coast of Yorkshire — have 107-metre long blades, and one single rotation of those blades produces enough electricity to power two homes all day.
📣 We’ve connected the world’s LARGEST offshore wind farm to our electricity transmission network – and it’s just produced power for the first time! ⚡It will produce this electricity at between £39.65 and £41.61 per megawatt hour, in 2012 prices. At the time of writing the price of a megawatt hour of electricity in Great Britain was considerably higher, at £117 per MWh.
