Siemens completes turbine installation at 714 MW East Anglia ONE wind farm off the coast of Suffolk
ScottishPower Renewables and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG) have successfully installed every single turbine on the East Anglia ONE offshore windfarm.
Beginning in June 2019, a total of 102 Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154 offshore wind turbines have been installed at the wind farm site, 43km off the Suffolk coast. Installation was undertaken by Siemens Gamesa using the Sea Installer and Sea Challenger vessels, operated by DEME.
All turbine components were pre-assembled and loaded out from Peel Ports Great Yarmouth. The components consist of 75-meter fiberglass blades, tower sections and nacelles (the head of the turbine), which have been on view along the Great Yarmouth seafront and skyline as the 90-meter-high towers were constructed on the quayside.
The wind farm is already making a substantial contribution to the production of green energy, with commissioning still underway. Once fully operational, it will produce 714 MW of clean energy annually – enough to power the equivalent of more than 630,000 homes.
