Gwynt y Môr (Welsh for ‘sea wind’) is a 576-megawatt (MW) offshore wind farm located off the coast of north Wales and is the fifth largest operating offshore windfarm in the world. The farm has 160 wind turbines of 150 metres (490 ft) tip height above mean sea level.
Planned maintenance work, including lifting heavy equipment, will take place at specific locations within the Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm. They will begin with the planned upkeep and servicing of the offshore wind farm components to ensure they are function properly. They will be using specialised equipment such as cranes and jack-up vessels to move or replace large wind turbine parts.
All relevant parties and stakeholders will be informed.
