The London Array is a turbine offshore wind farm located neat Kent, United Kingdom. At the time of its construction, it was the largest offshore wind farm in the world.[2]
The phase 1 of the wind farm construction began in March 2011 and was completed by mid 2013, being officially opened by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, on 4 July 2013.
The second phase of the project was cancelled because of possible harming the sea birds.[3]
The turbines were supplied by Siemens Wind Power.[4]
