UK: RWE s Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm generates first power
01 Mar 2021
Successful commissioning of transmission system ensures export to UK National Grid
RWE has taken a significant step towards achieving full power at its Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm, with the first generation of electricity. The generation milestone follows the successful delivery of vital onshore and offshore electrical infrastructure on schedule, and despite the challenges of constructing during the Coronavirus pandemic. The RWE-led Triton Knoll project began successfully installing its 90 offshore wind turbines in January and has since completed the required commissioning activities on the project’s transmission system to enable the export of power to the UK National Grid for the first time.

Scottish Power Renewables (SPR) has chosen Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) as the preferred wind turbine supplier for the £6.5 billion East Anglia Hub.
The offshore wind complex will deliver a total installed capacity of 3,1GW, enough to power the equivalent of more than 2.7 million homes.
More than 200 turbines are planned for East Anglia ONE North, TWO, and THREE projects in the southern North Sea.
The East Anglia Hub projects are forecast to deliver more than 7.5% of the UK’s 40GW target for offshore wind generation by 2030.
