Purpose

Located in the North Sea, this will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm. It uses massive 14 MW turbines to provide enough renewable energy to power 6 million UK homes annually. It is a cornerstone of Europe's transition to green energy, utilizing advanced high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology to transmit power efficiently over long distances to the shore.
