With the varied complications in climatic changes and for a better environment, there have always been an eager approach towards the use of  renewable sources of energy. One such energy is the wind energy and what we see here is the world’s largest wind farm, capable of generating 209 megawatts of power which approximately is the annual electricity consumption of 200,000 homes.

The offshore Horns Rev 2 farm at Denmark is located ” in the North Sea 30km off the coast of western Jutland“. It  uses 91 turbines and has an area coverage of 35 square kilometers. The massive wind farm has been built by Danish company Dong Energy which produces 15% power from renewable resources.
