The construction of a massive wind farm off the Suffolk coast has started with the first turbine bases now in place.
Sixty-nine turbine foundations have been put in place on the site of the Greater Gabbard wind farm, which is being built off Sizewell.
All of the components have been arriving at Harwich by sea and the remaining 71 foundations will be put in place over the summer and the turbines will then be fitted on top.
The 140 turbine wind farm will eventually generate 500 Megawatts of power and power more than 500,000 homes.
