A single revolution of one turbine will produce enough electricity to power a UK home for more than four days, charge around 1,700 mobile phones, or brew nearly a thousand cups of tea, says ScottishPower.

The wind farm's energy will be sent to shore viable cables making landfall at Bawdsey, near Woodbridge.
