The London Array: Can offshore wind power Europe?

The largest offshore wind farm in the world to go online by 2012, powering 750,000 homes in the London metro area.

A potential to generate and sell massive amounts of clean electricity to continental Europe.

The stretch of Scottish coastline used for the array dubbed “the Saudi Arabia of renewable power,”

The first stage of the project will build 630 megawatts of capacity (roughly 25 percent of London’s power needs).
Some estimates put U.K. offshore potential at 25 gigawatts. U.K. consumes 45 gigawatts of steady generation.
