London Array will be the worlds largest offshore wind farm when built. Construction on the first 630MW phase has now started; further build on Phase two is dependent upon demonstrating that the population of Red Throated Divers that winter in the Thames Estuary is not affected by the wind farm.

Phase One:
• 630MW -- enough to supply around 480,000 homes
• 175 turbines
• Two offshore substations
• One onshore substation
• Four export cables
• 210km of array cable
• 2.2bn Euro investment
