Lynn and Inner Dowsing is the name of an offshore wind farm complex in the United Kingdom in the North Sea . The project consists of the two equally large sub-areas Lynn and Inner Dowsing .
The composite 54 wind turbines of the type Siemens SWT 3.6-107 have an installed capacity of 194.4 MW ; Each individual system has a nominal output of 3.6 MW with a rotor diameter of 107 meters. The wind farm is located about 5 to 6 kilometers off the coast, east of Skegness , in a water depth of 6 to 13 meters. The wind farm is operated by Centrica . The annual standard work capacity corresponds to the electricity consumption of around 130,000 households. The park has been feeding electrical energy into the grid since March 2009.
The installation of the foundations was completed in 2007. In the first half of 2008 the submarine cables were laid and the turbines installed. The first electricity was fed in in May 2008. In July 2008 the installation work for the turbines was completed. In 2009 the operator Centrica announced the sale of 50% of the shares to the company TCW .
Maintenance of the turbines is carried out by Siemens. In October 2017, the maintenance contract was renewed for another five years.
