On December 21, 2023, RWE announced it had acquired the Norfolk Offshore Wind portfolio from Vattenfall, with the purchase completed on March 27, 2024. For further details, please refer to the press release here.

The portfolio includes three offshore wind development projects located off the east coast of England: Vanguard West, Vanguard East, and Boreas. Each project is designed to have a capacity of 1.4 gigawatts (GW) and will be  situated 47 to 80km off Norfolk's coast in East Anglia, a region recognised as one of the world’s largest and most promising areas for offshore wind development. These projects have already secured seabed rights, grid connections, Development Consent Orders, and all other essential permits.

These three projects will play a pivotal role in establishing and preserving East Anglia's status as a leader in the UK's renewable energy sector, placing the region at the forefront of our country's shift towards a more sustainable, low-carbon economy. They have the potential to create over a hundred of new, long term operational jobs locally as well as supporting thousands more during construction. In addition the projects will continue to support local and regional skills development programmes.”

As construction of these projects progresses, this website will serve as the go-to place for updates and detailed information about the construction process. We encourage you to add this website to your favourites and subscribe to our email newsletters for regular updates.
