Belgium: Thorntonbank boosts offshore wind power production

Inaugurated in June 2009, the Thorntonbank wind farm located approximately 30 km off Ostend is the largest and most complex project ever undertaken in the offshore sector after Belwind. Once completed in 2013, it will generate 1000 GW of electricity a year, which is sufficient to meet the energy requirements of 600 000 inhabitants.
