U.K. Switches On World's Largest Offshore Wind Farm. By Sarah Arnott, Independent (UK), September 24, 2010. "The world's biggest offshore wind farm opened in Thanet, seven miles off the Kent coast, yesterday (Thurs. 9/23/10)… The Thanet project, built in two years by Sweden's Vattenfal, consists of a hundred 115-metre turbines spread over 35 sq km and can generate enough power for 200,000 homes… The 300 megawatts of electricity produced by the Thanet wind farm -- plus the expansion of the Crystal Rig onshore wind farm in the Scottish Borders -- takes Britain's total installed wind power capacity to more than 5 gigawatts for the first time. Wind power is now powering almost three million homes, according to the industry group RenewableUK."
