Walney 1 Wind Farm is located in the Irish Sea off the Cumbrian coast, with the offshore substation platform located 15km from the coast of Walney Island and 18km from Barrow-in-Furness.
The wind farm itself consists of 51 x 3.6MW wind turbine generators, all of which are linked to the offshore substation.
The offshore substation is connected to the shore by a 45km undersea cable, which comes ashore near Heysham. The onshore cables, which are about 3km long, connect to the onshore substation at Heysham.
