East Anglia ONE cable route works
The Construction of East Anglia ONE commenced in 2017 and some final works are still being undertaken on site. To find out more about what activity is taking place please click here.
East Anglia THREE
East Anglia THREE has secured a Contract for Difference through the Allocation Round 4 process. Please view the press release to find out more.
East Anglia THREE offshore surveys
Scottish Power Renewables is undertaking offshore geophysical surveys for East Anglia THREE. Some activity will be visible from land and further information is available here.
East Anglia TWO and ONE North Development Consent granted
Development Consent Orders were awarded to East Anglia TWO and ONE North at the end of March 2022. ScottishPower Renewables is continuing to make preparations for the delivery of these projects in accordance with the commitments made during the consenting process. Surveys will be ongoing throughout 2023 and should any be intrusive, we will ensure further details are provided.
We understand that communities are keen to hear more about the projects and we are committed to providing as much information as possible and to working with communities as we move forward with the development of these projects.
Our four offshore windfarms will deliver a combined capacity of over 3.6GW of energy, supplying over 3.5 million homes with renewable electricity for the next 25 years. Creating a source of vital green energy to keep homes, businesses and communities powered during the climate crisis and beyond and playing a major part in contributing to the UK’s target of meeting Net Zero by 2050
East Anglia Projects
*Equivalent number of homes powered calculated by: Number of megawatts multiplied by the number of hours in one year (8,766) multiplied by the average load factor for offshore wind (42%, as published within the Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics 2021 (average offshore wind load factor for 2020, 2019 and 2018)), divided by the average annual household energy consumption (3.807MWh, as published within ‘Energy Consumption in the UK 2021’) (average electricity demand for 2020, 2019 and 2018)). For the East Anglia Hub, this is calculated by: 2,944MW x 0.42 x 8,766 (hours per year) / 3.807MWh = 2,847,119 homes powered equivalent.
