Vattenfall submits development consent order for the extension of Thanet offshore wind farm
Vattenfall, the owner of the 300 MW Thanet offshore wind farm, plans to construct an extension of the said project. A development consent order (DCO) application was submitted on June 27, 2018 to the Inspectorate. The Secretary of State’s decision is expected to be announced in mid-2019.
The wind farm consists of 100 Vestas V90 wind turbines with an estimated generation of 960 GWh per year of electricity. It will make a significant contribution to the government’s national and regional renewable energy targets and boost UK offshore wind capacity.
