Lindfield group names first wind farm turbine

Nearly 1,000 people voted and the winning name was Veranzio Turbine, as suggested by EcOathall, the year-seven eco club at Oathall Community College in Lindfield.

Rampion Offshore Wind Farm is the first offshore wind farm off the south coast of England.

Completed in 2018, it has an installed capacity of 400 megawatts (MW) and will generate almost 1,400 gigawatt hours (GWh) of power each year.

This is equivalent to the amount of electricity used annually by almost 350,000 British homes, or around half the homes in Sussex.
