Vattenfall boosts Norfolk offshore wind trio to 4.2GW

Vattenfall has increased the offshore wind capacity of its Norfolk zone off the east coast of England from 3.6GW to 4.2GW.

Although it does not yet have a firm deal with a turbine supplier, improvements in turbine technology enabled the Swedish developer to increase the zone’s three projects’ – Boreas, Vanguard East and Vanguard West – capacity to 1.4GW each, a spokesman explained.

All three projects are fully permitted.
