London Array Offshore Wind Farm is being developed by a consortium comprising three partners - E.ON UK Renewables, Shell Wind Energy Ltd and CORE Ltd.

Why London Array?

Some of the reasons the site is regarded as very suitable for a large-scale offshore wind farm include:

• High wind speeds
• Low water depth
• Proximity of nearby ports for construction, operation and maintenance
• Minimum interference with established shipping channels
• Suitable ground conditions
• Suitable grid connection
• Proximity of power demand - South East England has the highest demand for electricity in the UK

The London Array Wind Farm Would:

• Provide around 750,000 homes' annual electricity needs - that's around a quarter of Greater London or of the homes in Kent and East Sussex
• Prevent the emission of 1.9million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year - enough to fill Wembley Stadium 250 times over
• Represent nearly 10% of the Government's renewable target for 2010 (10% of the 10%)
