ScottishPower Renewables has selected Peel Ports Group Great Yarmouth as its port of choice for pre-assembly on the 960MW East Anglia Two offshore wind farm.
The agreement will see the various components for the windfarm’s 64 latest-generation offshore wind turbines pre-assembled on shore – including the 192 blades being manufactured at the Siemens Gamesa factory in Hull – before installation offshore.
Siemens Gamesa turbine components and sections will arrive at the Norfolk site for assembly, before installation in the southern North Sea in 2028.
Offshore construction for East Anglia Two is expected to get underway in 2027, with the windfarm becoming operational in 2028.
