The work on this phase of the project, East Anglia ONE, located 43km off the coast of Suffolk, will involve installing up to 400 new generation wind turbines in the North Sea with a capacity of 1,200MW.
This site covers an area of nearly 300sq km and the waters where the wind turbines are to be installed are relatively shallow, between 35m and 45m deep.
The power project is being undertaken through a joint venture of Iberdrola Renovables‘ subsidiary ScottishPower Renewables and Vattenfall, named East Anglia Offshore Wind (EAOW).
According to the companies, the project is currently in the engineering design phase to determine the location of wind turbines, substations, transformer platforms and connection lines to the mainland.
The East Anglia Array zone was awarded to ScottishPower Renewables and Vattenfall in January by The Crown Estates.
