The North Sea wind farm ‘Hornsea 2’ claims the title of the world’s largest wind farm.

“The 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.”

It’s great to see these advancements and we look forward to seeing more to come! With energy prices skyrocketing, it’s imperative the energy industry makes a quick transition to using more renewable energy sources.

As part of it’s Net Zero targets the government has committed to de-carbonising electricity generation by 2035, with offshore wind playing a crucial role.
