ScottishPower Renewables (SPR) has selected Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) as the preferred bidder to supply and install offshore wind turbines for its East Anglia Hub programme.
SPR and SGRE have agreed to work together ahead of the next Contracts for Difference auction – scheduled for later this year – to optimise the projects, with the ambition of then signing turbine supply and installation agreements. More than 200 next generation turbines are planned for SPR’s East Anglia Hub which conists of three wind farm projects that would generate up to 3.1GW. The three projects are East Anglia ONE North (800MW), East Anglia Two (900MW) and East Anglia THREE (1400MW).
