THE WORLD'S LARGEST installed windfarm, Hornsea 2, is now fully operational off the coast of Yorkshire, developer Orsted has announced. With initial construction starting as far back as 2016, the 1.3GW project comprises 165 wind turbines and is located approximately 55 miles off the Yorkshire Coast. Each turbine blade is 81m long, with the blade tips reaching more than 200m above sea level. A single revolution of the turbine blades is estimated to produce sufficient energy to power an average UK home for 24 hours. Around 242 miles (390km) of subsea export cables have also been installed.
