New Horizon at home in Wales

Well well, a beautiful sight. This is the view from home, over Llandudno. The site is called Gwynt y Môr and is 25 miles away. Although it looks like it's on land, it is actually 10 miles off-shore.

The farm is going to be 750MW when it is complete in 2012 which is one of the largest in the world. It will supply equivalent to 680,000 homes with electricity.
