Martin Roberts, construction projects manager for E.ON, said: The project has been tricky to get right and we’ve had to work around some rough weather during the last three months or so. But now it’s great to see the turbines turning and producing power once again.
The Blyth offshore wind farm uses two V66 turbines from Vestas Wind Systems A/S with a 40 m hub height.
The GBP4 million project has suffered a number of problems over the years, from cable trouble to a lightning strike.
V66 turbines were used for the first time offshore in this project.
The turbines were originally installed by the marine division of AMEC Capital Projects Ltd. for its owners, Blyth Offshore Wind Limited, which was a collaboration of Shell Renewables Ltd., E.ON, NUON Renewables and AMEC Border Wind.
