The Walney Offshore Wind farm project is located 15km off Barrow in Furness in Cumbria, UK. The project consists of Walney 1 and Walney 2 each with 51 turbines. It has 102 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The wind farm is owned and constructed by Dong Energy. The Turbines are manufactured by Siemens in Denmark, then shipped to the port of Mostyn in north Wales, where they are put together before being shipped up the Walney site.
