World’s largest floating wind farm to be built off coast of England and Wales

Following around 12 GW Floating right yesterday through ScotWind here's ambition from England and Wales.

EDF said "an area of interest encompassing some 1,500km2 has been identified, approximately 70km (43 miles) from the shore, with initial remote aerial surveys for marine mammal and birds taking place since Spring 2021".

The distance means the array would not be visible from the shore. At sea level, a six-foot tall person can see around 5km (3 miles) to the horizon.
