Powering the UK
Speckled across the Thames Estuary
stand the 175 wind turbines of the
London Array, which covers an area
2
of over 100km . Since 2013, the
world’s largest wind farm has
generated enough energy to power an
estimated 1.2 million UK homes for a
year, preventing some two million
tonnes of CO from being released into
2
the atmosphere. Each turbine has
been engineered to run continuously
for over 20 years.
