On Thursday Vattenfall inaugurates Thanet Offshore Wind Farm, the world’s largest offshore wind farm. This is a milestone in the development of renewable energy for a sustainable society. For Vattenfall, it is a springboard to the future – both to the British market and to large-scale offshore wind power.

Only some two years after the inauguration of the 48 turbine 110 MW Lillgrund wind farm in the Sound between Sweden and Denmark in June 2008, Vattenfall is now launching a new 100 turbine 300 MW offshore wind farm in the Channel – an investment of close to SEK 10 billion (EUR 1 billion; GBP 900 millions).
