"World's Largest Offshore Wind Farm Powers Millions of Homes"
The Dogger Bank Wind Farm, described as the "world's largest offshore wind farm," has produced its first power off the coast of northeast England. The project, developed in three phases, will have a total capacity of 3.6 gigawatts once fully operational and is expected to power up to 6 million homes per year. The wind farm is using GE Vernova's Haliade-X turbines and is transmitting electricity to the UK's national grid via a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system, marking the first-time use of HVDC technology on a UK wind farm. The project is seen as a significant boost to UK energy security and its efforts to tackle climate change.
