Located in the Irish Sea , the Walney Wind Farm is in a little shallower waters than some of the others on this list in only 19-23m waters . The project is a partnership between DONG Energy and Scottish and Southern Energy . DONG was awarded a 50-year lease for the project and completed the construction in two phases . The wind warm saw a small crisis earlier this year when a dive vessel crashed into one of the turbines and spilled a small amount of oil into a sea .
