The Thanet Wind Farm(also sometimes called Thanet Offshore Wind Farm) found on the southeast coast of England was opened on the midweek of September, 2010. The new farm could generate 300 megawatts of energy at full capacity compared to 25 megawatts of Pangui windfarm.
Each turbine is up to 380 feet (115 meters) tall and the site is as large as 4,000 football fields.
The wind farm in found in Ilocos is being operated by Northwind, a Danish firm Northwind. It is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. It uses 30 units of turbines in comparison to 100 units of Thanet. At their peak, it they can produce enough electricity a year to power the equivalent of more than 200,000 homes.
