Thanet Wind Farm, Offshore wind farm near Kent, England
The Thanet Wind Farm consists of 100 Vestas V90 turbines standing 151 meters tall across 35 square kilometers of the North Sea.
The Crown Estate selected Thanet as one of fifteen Round 2 wind projects in January 2004, with construction starting in 2008 and completion in 2010.
The wind farm represents the United Kingdom's commitment to renewable energy development and demonstrates the nation's leadership in offshore wind technology.

The installation includes two 180-MVA transformers that convert power from 33kV to 132kV, making it the first wind farm with dual power transformation systems.
