context_page_description: The Ormonde Wind Farm is a wind farm west of Barrow-in-Furness in the Irish Sea. The wind farm covers an area of 8.7 square kilometres. It has a total capacity of 150 MW and is expected to produce around 500 GWh of electricity per year.
context_section_description: Construction started in 2010 and was completed in August 2011.  Prysmian provided submarine power cable connections including 27 km of 33 kV inter-array cables to connect the wind turbines and a 42 km of 132 kV export cable to connect the wind farm to the substation.
  30 turbines each with 5 MW nameplate capacity are provided by REpower and electrical works were to be carried out by Areva.  Steel foundations for generators were developed and designed by OWEC Tower and produced by Burntisland Fabrications. Logistics and assembly services are provided by Harland and Wolff. Generators were installed by A2SEA. The first four steel foundations were delivered in July 2010, and were installed by a joint venture of Scaldis and Geosea BV.
  The wind farm was commissioned on 22 February 2012 and is now fully operational.
