East Anglia TWO Ltd. is developing an offshore wind farm in the southern North Sea about 32.6 km from the Suffolk coast at its nearest point off Southwold and 37.5 km to Lowestoft.
Recently, ScottishPower Renewables revealed it was doubling its investment in the UK from £12 billion to £24 billion ($15.38 billion to $30.76 billion) over the next four years.
East Anglia TWO will be the third wind farm at the company’s East Anglia Hub. East Anglia ONE (714 MW) came onstream in July 2020, while East Anglia THREE (1.4 MW) is under construction, with offshore foundation works due to start early next year.
Siemens Gamesa is the wind turbine supplier for all three projects.
The development consent order for East Anglia TWO was issued in March 2022.
ScottishPower Renewables is part of the ScottishPower group of companies operating in the UK under the Iberdrola Group.
