It turns out that the waters off the Essex coast in the outer Thames Esturary are one of the perfect places to site an offshore wind farm.

There's a number of them already, with plans for more in the coming years.

The Galloper Wind Farm has a state of the art control room and maintanance depot in Harwich, which is where Owen spoke with the General Manager; Sean Chenery.

Owen would like to hear from you if you've got a story to tell! Email [email protected]
