As per the latest update, the 81st turbine has been connected to the National Grid.
RWE Innogy UK’s Gwynt y Môr project director, Toby Edmonds reported that the plan is to complete the construction of Gwynt y Môr later this year with array cable installation coming to an end.
“We hope to have all 160 turbines commissioned this side of Christma,s but with the impact that the winter weather can have on our programme, it may be the early part of 2015 before the wind farm is fully operational,” he said.
