Thanet Offshore Wind Farm Export Cable Being Repaired (UK)

Thanet offshore wind farm export cable is being repaired, says BBC.

Jason Ormison, the head of media relations, said that they are still exporting power on a limited basis, and that they expect to return to the full capacity next month.

The Thanet project is located approximately 12 km off Foreness Point in water depths of 20-25m and covers an area of 35km2.

There are 100 turbines generating a total of 300MW of renewable electricity, enough to power more than 200,000 homes.
