#Hornsea 2: #North_Sea #wind_farm claims title of world's largest
The world's largest #offshore wind farm is now #fully_operational, 55 miles off the coast of #Yorkshire.
The Hornsea 2 project can generate enough #electricity to power about 1.3 million #homes - that's enough for a city the size of #Manchester.
A decade ago #renewables made up just 11% of the UK's energy mix. By 2021 it was 40%, with offshore wind the largest component.
Hornsea 2 is part of a huge wind farm development by #energy firm #Orsted.
"The #UK is one of the world leaders in offshore wind," Patrick Harnett, programme director for the Hornsea 2 wind farm told BBC News.
"This is very exciting after five years of work to have full #commercial_operations at the world's #largest offshore wind farm."
