U.K.’s Hornsea One Offshore Wind Project Will Produce Enough Energy to Supply One Million Homes

Here’s an update on the world’s largest wind project, a 1.2 GW offshore wind farm covering about 250 square miles.  To be completed in 2020, it’s located  75 miles off the U.K.’s Yorkshire Coast in the North Sea.

I hope readers will check out the video (linked above) describing the project, and the “floating hotel” that houses the employees of the Danish firm Orsted that is performing the construction.

Britain is the biggest offshore wind market in the world, with 37 offshore wind farms.  But can wind energy scale to play a key role in meeting the world’s targets for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions?  We’re in the process of finding out.  In the meanwhile, every little bit helps, and kudos to those who are making all this happen.
