North Hoyle Windfarm - Click here

North Hoyle is the UK’s first major offshore wind farm and represents a major milestone in the UK’s drive towards cleaner sources of power. Built in 2003, the project is now fully operational and produces enough clean, green electricity each year to meet the needs of approximately 40,000 homes.

The Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm comprises 25 efficient wind turbines and is situated on the Burbo Flats in Liverpool Bay at the entrance to the River Mersey, approximately 6.4km (4.0 miles) from the Sefton coastline and 7.2km (4.5 miles) from North Wirral.

Rhyl Flats Windfarm - Click Here

Rhyl Flats itself is an area of shallow water directly offshore from Rhyl; the actual location of the wind farm is further offshore and to the West of Rhyl Flats, on the Eastern end of Constable Bank between Abergele and Rhos-on-Sea. The area of the wind farm is approximately 3.9 square miles (approximately 10 square kilometres). The closest point to shore is Rhos Point, which is 5 miles (approximately 8 kilometres) from the nearest turbine.

The wind farm will be one of the largest schemes in the UK.When complete, Robin Rigg will generate enough energy to power nearly 120,000 homes.

Gwynt y Môr Windfarm- Click Here

The Gwynt y Môr site is located 13 kilometres (8 miles) off the North Wales coast at the nearest point to shore, 16 kilometres (10 miles) from Llandudno, and 18 kilometres (11 miles) from the Wirral. The maximum project area (shown on the map below) covers 124 km2 (48 square miles), although the area within which it is proposed that the wind turbines would be sited is smaller.
