The Rampion Offshore Wind Farm is the south coast's first offshore wind farm. It consists of 116 wind turbines, each mounted on a foundation fixed into the seabed. With an impressive installed capacity of 400 megawatts (MW), the wind farm generates 1,400 gigawatt hours (GWh) of green power annually. This is equivalent to powering around 350,000 UK homes or almost half the houses in Sussex.
The wind farm also significantly reduces CO2 emissions by nearly 600,000 tonnes per year. Covering an area of 70 square kilometres, the wind farm is larger than the island of Guernsey and is located in the English Channel, 13 to 20 kilometres off the Sussex coast.
Completed in 2018, the wind farm has created approximately 60 full-time permanent jobs. Its operation and maintenance are based at a purpose-built facility in Newhaven Port, which has played a crucial role in the regeneration of the port area.
Visitors interested in a preview of the Rampion Wind Farm before their tour can watch a high-definition video on Brighton Diver's website. The video showcases stunning footage captured by Fifty One Films and provides an in-depth view of the wind farm's offshore components.
