RWE installs final turbine for Triton Knoll offshore wind project
RWE has installed the final turbine for the Triton Knoll offshore wind project in Lincolnshire, the UK. The project is expected to finalize turbine commissioning in 2021 and achieve final project completion in 2022.
Triton Knoll wind farm is jointly owned by RWE (59%), J-Power (25%), and Kansai Electric Power (16%), with RWE leading both the construction and the long-term operation and maintenance. Once fully operational, Triton Knoll will generate enough electricity for the equivalent demand of over 800,000 UK homes.
The 90 Vestas 9.5 MW wind turbines were installed by Vestas and DEME using the jack-up “Wind Osprey” provided by Cadeler. Triton Knoll consists of 90 turbines, each one up to 187 metres tall with blades of over 80 meters long. The turbine blades, nacelles, and tower sections were prepared for offshore installation at Able Seaton Port on Teesside. The infrastructure at the port has been developed by Able UK for use as a turbine assembly and installation facility for the first time.
