ScottishPower Renewables taps Great Yarmouth for EA2 pre-assembly

ScottishPower Renewables has chosen Peel Ports Great Yarmouth as its base for pre-assembling components for the 960MW East Anglia Two offshore wind farm.

Under this agreement, various parts of the wind farm’s 64 state-of-the-art offshore wind turbines—including 192 blades produced at the Siemens Gamesa factory in Hull—will be pre-assembled onshore before being installed offshore.

“It’s fantastic to be working with Peel Ports Great Yarmouth to bring that to life for people and businesses across East Anglia while showcasing the world-class facilities we have here on our doorstep to support a global industry,” commented ScottishPower Renewables’ Managing Director for Offshore Ross Ovens.

Siemens Gamesa turbine sections and components will be delivered to the Norfolk site for assembly ahead of their installation in the southern North Sea in 2028.

Richard Goffin, Port Director, Peel Ports Group stated: “We’re very proud that ScottishPower Renewables has once again chosen Great Yarmouth to support this huge project, having previously worked together on the East Anglia One development.

“Great Yarmouth has proved itself to be an outstanding base for the growing offshore renewables market, not just in the southern North Sea but extending further afield, including the North Sea”.

Offshore construction for East Anglia Two is set to commence in 2027, with the wind farm expected to become operational the following year.
