Largest offshore wind farm opens off Thanet in Kent
The world's biggest offshore wind farm off the Kent coast is being officially opened later.

Swedish energy giant Vattenfall said the 100 turbines are expected to generate enough electricity to power 240,000 homes.

Energy Secretary Chris Huhne is due to visit the project, which has been built seven miles (12km) off Foreness Point in Thanet.

In all, up to 341 turbines will be installed over a four-year period.
