Nearing completion, the East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm has finished installation of all 102 turbines.

The 2.5 billion project is a joint venture between ScottishPower Renewables and Macquaries Green Investment Group (GIG) and the first of four offshore wind farms being developed in the region.

On completion, the project is expected to generate more than 714MW of renewable energy annually enough to power 630,000 UK homes.

The turbines have been developed by Siemens Gamesa at a specially built factory in Hull, UK.

The project forms part of the UKs pledge to go net zero by 2050, in addition to generating more than 800 jobs.

Edward Northam, Head of GIG Europe, said: East Anglia ONE has illustrated the role offshore wind projects can play in supporting businesses across the UK, supporting hundreds of skilled jobs in the process.

Were committed to driving the UKs energy transition, establishing offshore wind as the backbone of the UKs new low-carbon energy system.
