2. The UK has the most installed capacity in Europe with enough energy to power over 10 million homes 🏡
UK waters are now home to 44 offshore windfarms, with over 2,500 turbines in operation.
This includes the four largest operational offshore windfarm projects in the world.

3. We are reaping the rewards of this innovation and investment to break wind energy records.
Last year, onshore and offshore British wind farms generated seven times more electricity compared to 2010 levels 🔋
