Overview
- The 1.4 GW project, which installed its first turbine on Tuesday, sits 69 km off the Suffolk coast and will use 95 Siemens Gamesa machines.
- Each turbine carries 115 m blades made at Siemens Gamesa’s Hull plant, which employs more than 1,400 people and trains apprentices.
- The 14 MW turbines stand about 262 m tall with a 236 m rotor, and the site is expected to generate power for roughly 1.3 million homes.
- Cadeler’s Wind Osprey is installing the turbines, with the new Wind Pace due to join later in April to keep a steady work rate on its first European job.
- Offshore construction began in April 2025 with foundations, and the developers expect turbine installation to finish in the third or fourth quarter of 2026.
