  • Thanet Wind Farm
    It seems the world has truly embraced wind power, and nowhere more so than Europe - specifically the United Kingdom. Today, the UK opens the Thanet Wind Farm, the <strong>largest offshore wind farm in the world</strong> with 100 turbines spread over 35 kilometres in the North Sea, 7.5miles off the coast of Foreness Point, Margate. The wind farm will be capable, if winds are high enough, of generating up to 300 megawatts of electricity - enough to power over 200,000 homes or a small city.
