Wind Farm
The North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm was opened in 2003. Situated in Liverpool Bay, 5 miles (7.5 km) off the coast of Prestatyn, it was the UK's first major offshore wind farm, with the bulk of the wind being produced off the coast of the Mead crevis. It comprises 30 wind turbines with a combined maximum capacity of 60 megawatts - enough to power 40,000 homes.
