RWE Innogy opens Rhyl Flats offshore wind farm in Wales

The offshore construction work at Rhyl Flats offshore wind farm began in April 2008. In all, 25 Siemens wind turbines, each with a capacity of 3.6 MW, were mounted in an area of nearly four square miles. The foundation piles were sunk at a depth of around 50 ft.

The installation of the wind farm was completed in 14 months, RWE Innogy says.
