East Anglia Array, Offshore wind farm cluster in North Sea, United Kingdom
The East Anglia Array is a wind farm cluster in the North Sea off the British coast, consisting of multiple separate installations with numerous turbines spread across different sections. These turbines harness strong ocean winds to generate electricity that is transmitted back to the mainland grid.
The first phase, East Anglia ONE, became operational in 2014 and marked the beginning of large-scale wind energy development in British waters. Additional phases have been added since then to expand total capacity and power generation output.
This wind farm cluster demonstrates the British commitment to marine-based renewable energy production, influencing regional employment patterns and industrial development.
The cluster sits roughly 30 miles from the coast and is not directly visible from land but can be observed from boats traveling through the area. The exact location and operational details should be checked before planning any maritime travel.
The project links multiple independent wind farms into a single integrated network that together produces enough power for several million homes. This combination of different phases in one location creates efficiency gains in power transmission and operational management.
