Gwynt y Môr (English: ''Sea Wind'') is a 576-megawatt (MW) offshore wind farm located off the coast of North Wales and is the second largest operating offshore windfarm in the world.〔(www.rwe.com; ) accessed 10 August 2015〕 Planning consent for the project was granted on 3 December 2008. The project has a value of 2 billion Euros, of which 1.2 billion Euros were spent on turbines and electrical connections. Construction began in 2012, power production started in September 2013, construction phase ended in November 2014, and final commissioning occurred in June 2015.〔 As of 2015 it is the second largest offshore wind farm in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World’s second largest offshore wind farm opens off coast of Wales )〕 == Design and planning == As with all offshore wind farms in the UK the Crown Estate〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Crown Estate )〕 owns the seabed at Gwynt y Môr. It has agreed to lease the land to npower renewables. The wind farm will be located close to the existing North Hoyle and Rhyl Flats offshore wind farms. These projects are wholly or partly owned by RWE npower renewables, a subsidiary of German company RWE. In the case of Gwynt y Môr, RWE holds 60%, Stadtwerke München holds 30%, and Siemens holds 10%. With 160 turbines〔(RWE Innogy, Stadtwerke München and Siemens build offshore wind farm Gwynt y Môr )〕 of 3.6MW Siemens SWT-3.6-107, Gwynt y Môr will be Wales' largest wind farm. The expected output of 1,950 GWh per year is capable of powering around 400,000 homes, or 30% of the homes in Wales. This will prevent the release of about 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.〔〔(Go-ahead for wind farm puts Wales on track to meet clean energy targets )〕 Planning consent for the project was granted on 3 December 2008. The project has a value of 2 billion Euros. 1.2 billion Euros will go to Siemens for turbines and electrical connections. Two floating experimental LIDAR wind measurement stations have been tested at the site for two years.〔Weston, David. "(Lidar test completed at Gwynt y Mor )" ''Windpower offshore'', 20 February 2015.
