Project details
| Water depth |
12 to 27,5 m |
| Distance to the coast |
27 to 30 km |
| Area |
19,84 km2 (Area A = 10,68 km2 + Area B = 9,16 km2) |
| Total capacity |
325,20 MW |
| Annual generation |
1.000.000.000 kWh or 1000 GWh
= Enough energy for the annual consumption of 600.000 inhabitants |
| Avoided CO2 emission |
