Description
Thames Estuary. Satellite image of the Thames Estuary on the coast of the UK. The Thames Estuary is the estuary where the River Thames (centre left) meets the North Sea (far right). This is the site of the world's largest offshore wind farm (as of 2014). Known as the London Array it consists of 175 wind turbines over an area of 100 square kilometres. The wind farm became fully operational on 8th April 2013 and generates a maximum power of 630 megawatts, enough to supply as many as 500,000 homes. Imaged by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite, on 28th April 2013.
