E.ON says all turbines linked to grid at UK offshore wind farm Rampion
LONDON (Reuters) - All 116 turbines at top German utility E.ON's (DE:EONGn) Rampion offshore wind farm in Britain are now able to generate electricity and are delivering power to the grid, the company said on Tuesday.
The 400-megawatt project is being built off the coast of Sussex in southeast England by E.ON, UK Green Investment Rampion Ltd and Canadian energy infrastructure company Enbridge (N:EEQ).
"Over the coming months work will continue both on and offshore, to prepare the site for full operation later this year," E.ON said in a statement.
The farm will generate electricity to supply 347,000 homes, equivalent to around half of the households in Sussex.
In March, British wind power output hit a record high at 14.2 gigawatts, accounting for about 34 percent of domestic electricity generation
