The original 4MW Blyth Offshore Wind Farm, consisting of two 2MW Vestas V66 turbines located about 0.5 miles off Blyth, Northumberland, entered commercial operation in December 2000 as the UK’s first offshore wind farm. Developed by E.ON UK Renewables in consortium with Shell Renewables, Nuon UK and AMEC Wind, the pilot project was commissioned that month and at the time hosted the most powerful offshore turbines installed worldwide.
