The job was completed in cooperation with Vestas, that was chosen as  preferred turbine supplier for the 90, 9.5 MW turbines to generate power for the east coast offshore wind farm.

Each turbine has a greater swept area than the London Eye, measuring 187 metres from the base of the tower to the tip of the blades.

RWE is constructing the project and will operate on behalf of the partnership. Triton Knoll is within the Greater Wash strategic area, located off the east coast of England, approximately 20 miles off the coast of Lincolnshire and 28 miles from the coast of north Norfolk. This is one of three ‘Round Two’ strategic areas around the coast of Great Britain, which were released for offshore wind development by The Crown Estate and the Government in 2003.
