The UK Government has awarded planning consent for Vattenfall’s Norfolk Boreas Offshore Wind Farm. When constructed Norfolk Boreas will form part of Vattenfall’s Norfolk Zone alongside its sister project, Norfolk Vanguard, which is awaiting its own consent decision.
Ahead of the next UK Contract for Difference (CfD) Allocation Round, Vattenfall is also anticipating a consent decision on Norfolk Vanguard. Final investment decisions on the two projects would only be taken once they have been successful in the CfD process. Norfolk Boreas will have an installed capacity of 1.8 GW and first power is expected in the mid 2020s. The complete Norfolk Zone will have a total installed capacity of 3.6 GW and will consist of between 180 and 312 wind turbines.
