A windfarm off the coast of Grimsby, has successfully generated renewable electricity
It's at Triton Knoll Windfarm
The Triton Knoll Wind Farm, off the coast of Grimsby, has successfully generated renewable electricity for the first time ever.
90 wind turbines were installed earlier this year at The Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm.
It’s set to power up to 857 megawatts of clean renewable electricity.
Once fully operational it’ll be capable of powering the equivalent of over 800,000 UK homes.
Julian Garnsey, Project Director for Triton Knoll and RWE said “It’s fantastic to see Triton Knoll generating clean renewable electricity for the first time. I would like to thank the entire project team and all our supply chain partners for achieving this milestone safely and on time despite the significant challenges presented by the corona pandemic"
All blades, nacelles and tower sections are being handled at Able Seaton Port; a specialist Teesside turbine construction base established and prepared for offshore wind project usage by Triton Knoll and Vestas. Installation is being carried out by DEME, using the jack-up vessel Wind Osprey, provided by Cadeler.
The project is located over 32 kilometres off the Lincolnshire coast, with a turbine array that covers an area of 145 square kilometres.
