East Anglia is the name of several planned offshore wind farms in the English Exclusive Economic Zone of the United Kingdom in the North Sea , the first of which is about to go into operation. Up to six different wind farms with a capacity of 7200 MW could be realized. The name East Anglia is related to the region of East Anglia .
Construction of the East Anglia One sub-project began in April 2018. Implementation should be completed by 2020. East Anglia One can supply nearly 600,000 households with electricity. The East Anglia Three sub-area was approved in August 2017.
East Anglia One
Following a tender by the British government, sub-area One was awarded £ 119.89 per megawatt hour for 714 megawatts in February 2015 . Via a contract for difference , the feed-in tariff for the electricity is guaranteed by the state to the operator for 15 years ( present value from 2012). The successful bidder was East Anglia One Limited , an operating company of ScottishPower Renewables . In June 2015, the project developer named Siemens Gamesa as the preferred supplier. A total of 102 Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154 turbines, each with 7 MW, have an installed capacity of 714 MW. The total investment was put at £ 2½ billion.
History and construction
In February 2016, ScottishPower Renewables announced that it had made its final decision to invest in East Anglia One. The 102 foundations were installed from April 2018 to July 2019. The Van Oord company took on all transport and installation work. The foundations are of the jacket type (65 meters high), which were manufactured by the companies Lamprell and a joint venture between Navantia and Windar and were delivered via the Dutch port city of Vlissingen . The first turbine was installed on June 12, 2019. The turbines and rotor blades are pre-assembled in Great Yarmouth and loaded for sea transport.
The 167 meter high transformer platform ("Andalusia II") built at Navantia in Puerto Real (Spain ) was installed in August 2018 . Here, the electricity produced by the 102 wind turbines is converted from 66 kV to 220 kV and transported over two 85-kilometer submarine cables to the land, where it is to be fed into the British power grid in Bramford ( Suffolk ). The wind farm will be monitored and controlled from the maintenance center in the port in Lowestoft .
East Anglia One North
The East Anglia One North sub-area is at the planning stage. According to information from ScottishPower Renewables, plants for 800 MW would be realized there over an area of 209 km².
East Anglia Two
About 37 kilometers off the coast of the city of Lowestoft is the East Anglia Two sub-area , in which 900 MW could be installed over an area of 257 km². It is in the planning stage.
East Anglia Three
East Anglia Three is another sub-area that was approved in August 2017. According to the British government, it will have a capacity of 1,200 MW. The tendering process ran until December 2016. On an area of 305 km², 172 systems can supply almost 900,000 households. The realization is carried out by the company ScottishPower Renewables .
