Have you ever wanted to visit an offshore wind farm? Well this is your chance. The 400MW Rampion Wind Farm is located in the English Channel, eight miles off the coast of Sussex. Its 116 turbines will generate enough clean and green electricity to power nearly 350,000 homes, equivalent to half the homes in Sussex.

The wind farm, which is being developed by energy company E.ON, should be complete and operational by 2018. This visit is for those who have an interest in how renewable energy can make a contribution to the green economy.
Due to limited capacity on the boats, tickets are limited to one per business.

Please note that this visit will involve sea travel by boat and is weather dependent. In the case of inclement weather, we will hold an event at the meeting point, with presentations by wind farm developers, E.ON, and other wind energy experts. The cost of the ticket will be refunded by 50 per cent.
