IMG_3598_coastal defences.jpg The area of the North Wales coast between Prestatyn and Abergele was reclaimed from an ancient salt marsh. As such it is flat, low lying and susceptible to coastal flooding. Climate change driven sea level rise increases the risk making it one of the most at risk coastal areas in the British Isles. In 1990 a combination of strong westerly winds a high tide and a 1.5m storm surge breached 400 metres of the sea wall and inundated 2800 properties in Towyn and Kinmel Bay. These rocks have been placed to try and re-inforce the sea wall.

IMG_3500_turbine blade.jpg The Walney Offshore Windfarm project is located 15km off Barrow in Furness in Cumbria.  The project consists of Walney 1 and Walney 2 each with 51 turbines. When finished it will have 102 3.6 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of 367.2 MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The wind farm is owned and constructed by Dong Energy. The Turbines are manufactured by Siemens in Denmark, then shipped to the port of Mostyn in north Wales, where they are put together before being shipped up the the Walney site.
