ScottishPower and Masdar have installed the first turbine at the 1.4 GW East Anglia Three offshore windfarm, marking a UK milestone with the use of 115 m blades, the largest ever deployed in the country.

The offshore wind project will comprise 95 turbines, each rated at 14 MW. The units will stand about 262 m tall and feature rotor diameters of 236 m. All 285 blades for the project are being manufactured by Siemens Gamesa in Hull.

Located off the Suffolk coast, East Anglia Three is set to become one of the world’s largest offshore wind farms and is expected to support the UK’s clean energy transition and energy security.

Turbine installation is being carried out by Cadeler using the Wind Osprey installation vessel. Wind Pace is also set to join the campaign to accelerate deployment.
