Masdar has entered into a consortium partnership with Dong Energy and E.ON with ownership stakes of (20%, 50% & 30% respectively). Together the consortium developed the London Array Offshore Wind Farm which has begun generating power.
The project is located in the Thames Estuary, and when completed will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
Phase I: 175 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 630 MW, 151 turbines have been installed with building on track for completion of Phase I by the end of 2012.
Phase II: Still not approved, but is planed to add enough capacity to bring total output to 870 MW.
Masdar is Abu Dhabi's entity leading the development of renewable energy, and the project is another example of Masdar's extension for the development of Renewable Energy beyond the GCC. In November last year Masdar had also signed an agreement with the Scottish Government for coordination in Renewable Energy research.

It is very positive to see the continued coordination of the GCC countries with the rest of the world in Renewable Energy development.
