WATCH: Most powerful offshore wind turbines installed in Northumberland
The installation of five wind turbines off the coast at Blyth has now been completed - marking the latest milestone in this ground-breaking offshore windfarm development.
The Blyth Offshore Demonstrator Wind farm is a 41.5 MW facility located about 6km off the coast, which uses three leading-edge innovations around the foundation, the turbine and the cables.
Last month, five of the most powerful turbines were lifted and fitted onto the foundations using a specially designed jack-up vessel. The 8.3 MW MHI Vestas turbines are the most powerful to be used on an offshore windfarm.
