Spectacular images, video tell the story of the world's first offshore wind farm

Just off the coast of Yorkshire, UK, the world’s largest offshore wind farm just installed 174 turbines totaling 1.22 GW in less than a year. Amazing.

In celebration of this milestone, I wanted to share a video that tells the story of the first offshore wind farm. It was built in Hywind Scotland. The 30 MW pilot park was a great success. It paved the way for the Yorkshire, UK project and many more slated for the near future. This is a truly exciting technology for renewable energy.

Below is a mini documentary telling the story of the Hywind project. And below that are screenshots from the video showing some stunning images of the project.
