The links below open to show photomontages (computer generated images) of the proposed Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm from four locations across the North Wales and Wirral coasts. The following explains what the three images within each of these .pdfs is illustrating.

Illustrative view from Great Orme Top image - shows the changes in the horizontal spread of the wind turbines for both the Gwynt y Môr and Rhyl Flats offshore wind farms. The change for Gwynt y Môr is as a result of the revision to the turbine area whilst the change for Rhyl Flats is as a result of confirming the turbine layout which is actually to be constructed, rather than the maximum consented layout. The red lines show the spread of the wind turbines as presented in the Environmental Statement for Gwynt y Môr and the maximum consented layout for Rhyl Flats. The green lines show the spread of the wind turbines for the revised turbine area for Gwynt y Môr as presented in the Supplementary Environmental Information document, and the recently confirmed layout for the soon to be constructed Rhyl Flats Offshore Wind Farm. Middle image - shows the Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm layout as presented in the Environmental Statement submitted in November 2005, and the maximum consented layout for Rhyl Flats Offshore Wind Farm. This image shows Gwynt y Môr with 150 x 5MW wind turbines and Rhyl Flats with the maximum consented 30 x 5MW wind turbine layout. Bottom image - shows the revised turbine area layout for Gwynt y Môr, and the Rhyl Flats Offshore Wind Farm layout which will actually be constructed. This image shows Gwynt y Môr with 150 x 5MW wind turbines and Rhyl Flats with the recently confirmed 25 x 3.6MW wind turbine layout.
