Offshore wind demonstration project, England
Name and Location
Offshore wind demonstration project, Northumberland, England.
Client
The National Renewable Energy Centre (Narec).
Project Description
The project involves the development of the UK’s largest offshore wind demonstration site.
This will comprise the construction of a grid-connected 99.9 MW demonstration project, including 15 turbines in three arrays that will stand in depths of 35 m, 45 m and 55 m off the coast of Blyth, in Northumberland, including cables back to shore.
The demonstration site will be the final aspect of Narec’s strategy to provide a complete suite of independent open-access test facilities, enabling manufacturers to reduce the risks and costs associated with developing the new technologies required in the Round 3 offshore wind farm projects.
Value
£350-million.
Duration
Construction of the first array is targeted for completion in 2015.
Latest Developments
The Marine Management Organisation has granted Narec permission to construct the demonstration project.
Northumberland County Council has also granted permission for the construction of the supporting onshore infrastructure, including the electrical substation that will transfer the power created by the demonstration turbines to the grid.
Narec is in talks with potential investment partners to build the demonstration site.
