Situated 15 Km off the coast it&#8217;s a great example of large scale engineering. Walney 1 and Walney 2 farms have a combined capacity of 367MW. Over 100 turbines in depths of water of around 20m it was quite an undertaking. Undersea cables bring the power ashore across Morecambe Bay towards Heysham.<\/p>\n<h2>Planning Large Projects<\/h2>\n<p>There are so many aspects to consider when planning a project.
