东英吉利一号, the largest windfarm in Iberdrola's history

东英吉利一号, a joint venture between 苏格兰能源 Renewables and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG), 是2英镑.5 billion project and the first of four offshore windfarms.

苏格兰能源 Renewables completed the installation and commissioning of its 东英吉利一号 offshore windfarm – an incredible achievement, 特别是在COVID-19大流行期间.

All 102 Siemens Gamesa offshore wind turbines – situated 43km off the Suffolk coast – are now fully operational, the capacity to produce 714MW of clean energy. 每年, the windfarm will produce enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of more than 630,000户*.

Around 20 per cent of the turbine installation and around half the turbine connection work was completed during lockdown, 苏格兰能源 Renewables and its project partners transforming how they worked to get the job done. This included switching to a higher number of smaller vessels, creating crew ‘households’ who lived and worked together at all times, introducing new welfare protocols and minimising crew changes.

This comprehensive approach allowed the project to be completed on time, creating a source of vital green energy to keep homes, businesses and communities powered during the crisis and beyond. 东英吉利一号 will now play a major part in contributing to the UK’s target of meeting Net Zero by 2050.

*Equivalent number of homes powered calculated by: Number of megawatts multiplied by the number of hours in one year (8,766) multiplied by the average load factor for offshore wind (42%, as published within the Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics 2021 (average offshore wind load factor for 2020, 2019年和2018年), divided by the average annual household energy consumption (3.807兆瓦, as published within ‘Energy Consumption in the UK 2021’) (average electricity demand for 2020, 2019年和2018年).

支持地方经济

In addition to the significant impact the windfarm will have on the UK’s low carbon future, 东英吉利一号’s achievement and ambition will continue far beyond energy power. 的 site has already brought major benefits to the local economy, regional jobs market and wider UK supply chain.

几乎3,500 jobs were sustained during the construction phase, 从2017年开始, while 100 long-term skilled jobs have been created at the operations and maintenance base in Lowestoft.

苏格兰能源 Renewables co-invested £5 million in Peel Ports Great Yarmouth to prepare it for construction and marshalling activity. 在整个项目过程中, more than half of the project’s supply chain has come from the UK market, exceeding the commitments made as part of its successful bid for Contract for Difference funding.

投资未来

苏格兰能源 Renewables has placed 东安格利亚 at the centre of its ambitious skills strategy, 参与3人以上,000 pupils across the educational spectrum – including sponsorship of ten engineering masters at the University of 东安格利亚 – and the development of 苏格兰能源 Renewables’ first-ever apprenticeship programme.

的 four new apprentices are based at 东英吉利一号’s state-of-the-art new operations and maintenance building at Hamilton Dock, Lowestoft; a key part of a £25 million investment made by 苏格兰能源 Renewables into the port. 的 recruitment drive comes on the back of the offshore wind industry target announced in March to employ 3,000 new apprentices across the industry by 2030.
