Vattenfall in Kent
Kent is home to three of our operational offshore wind farms – Thanet, Kentish Flats and Kentish Flats Extension.
These three wind farms combined produce enough electricity annually to power more than 400,000 UK homes.
Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm
Powering UK homes
Since our first Kent wind farm – Kentish Flats – was built a decade ago, offshore wind has become an affordable, reliable and vital part of the UK energy system. By 2030, 30GW of offshore wind is expected to be installed in the UK. Our own pipeline of projects could power more than 4 million UK homes.
A local team
From our base in Ramsgate Harbour, we now have 70 people working at our wind farms in Kent. These local team members have developed their skills working on our projects.

By 2030, our projects could be delivering electricity to 5 million UK homes.
We invest over £3mn into the local communities hosting our wind farm projects each year.
