At around 35% capacity factor.

Does this mean that you'll never see more than 350MW from this lot,
given optimum conditions all round?


They _claim_ they're going to get an annual 4.1TWh from H-1,
(http://tinyurl.com/ztsua4s last line of that section). H-1 has a
boilerplate capacity of 1.2GW, so 4.1TWh per annum corresponds to an
average power output of 468GW. So a capacity factor of 39%.
Optimistic? Who knows; only time will tell.

IF the damned turbines dont break they might just scrape that offshore.

But the turbines are always failing. Its ghastly conditions to operate
machinery like that.
