ScottishPower Renewables and Peel Ports Great Yarmouth have signed a reservation agreement for the Norfolk gateway to be used for pre-assembly works for the GBP4 billion (USD5.1 billion) East Anglia TWO offshore wind farm.
The pre-assembly and load-out of the wind turbines will take place at Great Yarmouth. The companies have signed a reservation agreement that will see the Siemens Gamesa turbine components and sections come together for assembly at the Norfolk site, before installation in the southern part of the North Sea.
Situated 33 km off the Suffolk coast, East Anglia TWO ‘s 64 turbines will have the capacity to generate up to 960 MW of electricity.
“Great Yarmouth has proved itself to be an outstanding base for the growing offshore renewables market, not just in the southern North Sea but extending further afield, including the North Sea,” said port director, Richard Goffin.
Offshore construction for East Anglia Two is expected to get under way in 2027, with the wind farm becoming operational in 2028.
