Rampion 400MW Construction on the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm began in 2015, six years after planning for the project began. Located in the English Channel, off the coast of the county of Sussex, the farm is made up of 116 turbines, each with a capacity of 3.45MW. The turbines are 140m tall with a wing span of 112m in diameter. 27km of buried onshore cables are used for the farm, with the total length of inter-array cables reaching 144km. The energy created by Rampion is enough to power 350,000 homes and reduce approximately 600,000 tonnes of emissions per year.
