East Anglia THREE - Offshore activities (update - 11 March 2025)
Work continues offshore with further surveys and clearance operations. Further details can be found in our Mariner Notices page, which contains Notices to mariners. A summary of ongoing offshore activities is included in the Weekly Notice of Operations.
East Anglia THREE - Extended working hours at the onshore converter station site (update - 24 February 2025)
Siemens Energy have been given permission by the local planning authority to work on Sunday 9 March and 23 March. Work will take place between 0700 and 1600 within the converter hall building.
Siemens Energy have also been given permission to work extended hours Monday to Saturday, until 26 April 2025. The additional hours will allow for safer working on site and reduce the frequency of vehicles per hour on Bullen Lane. All work between 1900 and 2200 will take place within the converter hall.
Our four offshore windfarms will deliver a combined capacity of over 3.9GW of energy, supplying over 3.8 million homes with renewable electricity for the next 25 years. Creating a source of vital green energy to keep homes, businesses and communities powered during the climate crisis and beyond and playing a major part in contributing to the UK’s target of meeting Net Zero by 2050.
East Anglia Projects
*The equivalent number of homes supplied is calculated by: Installed capacity (in MW) multiplied by the number of hours in one year (8,760) multiplied by the average load factor for offshore wind (41.7%) (being the average load factor for offshore wind during 2022, 2021 and 2020 as published within the Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics, DESNZ, 2023), divided by the average annual household energy consumption (3.694MWh) (being the average annual household energy consumption during 2022, 2021 and 2020 as published within Energy Consumption in the UK 2023, DESNZ, 2023).
