Blyth wind farm

Blyth is a small coastal wind farm located 0.5 miles off the coast of Blyth, Northumberland.

Blyth is the first offshore wind farm to use float and submerge technology. This means the wind turbines are supported with gravity-based foundations, which are transported by floating. This made it cheaper to install, since we didn’t have to drill foundations into the seabed.
