The first turbine has been installed at the East Anglia THREE offshore wind farm in the UK.
Cadeler completed the installation using its wind installation jack-up vessel Wind Osprey. Once fully operational by the end of this year, East Anglia THREE will have a total capacity of around 1.4 GW and will be capable of supplying power to more than 1.3 million homes.
Under the campaign, Cadeler will handle the full transportation and installation scope for all 95 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 turbines. Each unit stands around 262 m tall, with blades measuring 115 m.
This is Cadeler’s first project with ScottishPower Renewables, Iberdrola and Masdar, which the company described as a strong starting point for future collaboration.
For the installation campaign, Cadeler is deploying two wind installation jack-up vessels in parallel. Wind Osprey will soon be joined by Wind Pace, supporting a more streamlined installation program across the project.
This will also be Wind Pace’s first project in European waters since its delivery last year. Built for next-generation turbine installation, the vessel brings increased capacity and operational flexibility to support efficient installation at scale.
