Why London Array?
Some of the reasons the site is regarded as very suitable for a large-scale offshore wind farm include:
- High wind speeds
- Low water depth
- Proximity of nearby ports for construction, operation and maintenance
- Minimum interference with established shipping channels
- Suitable ground conditions
- Suitable grid connection
- Proximity of power demand - South East England has the highest demand for electricity in the UK
The London Array Wind Farm would:
- Provide around 750,000 homes' annual electricity needs
- Displace the emission of 1.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year
