Construction completed for 857 MW Offshore wind farm in UK
RWE AG has commissioned all the installed turbines at the Triton Knoll Offshore wind farm project located off the coast of Lincolnshire in the UK.
Once fully operational, the power output of Triton Knoll will be 857 megawatts (MW), making it one of the world’s largest offshore wind farms. Standing at 164 meters tall, full operations of the 90 turbines are expected in the first quarter of 2022. Triton Knoll can generate sufficient electricity to meet the needs of around 800,000 homes each year.
The project represents an investment of around GBP2 billion (US$2.7 billion) that includes the construction of the wind farm and the grid connection. Triton Knoll is jointly owned by RWE (59%), J-Power (25%), and Kansai Electric Power (16%). RWE led the wind farm’s development as well as construction and will also operate and maintain it on behalf of the project partners.
