The SMart Wind consortium, led by Mainstream Renewable Power and the Project and Structured Finance unit of Siemens Financial Services, has secured grid capacity for the second gigawatt (GW) of its 4GW Hornsea offshore wind development off the Yorkshire coast.
This second grid connection for the offshore wind farm will connect to Killingholme substation, an existing 400kV substation located in the Humber region and owned by National Grid. Earlier in 2011 SMart Wind announced the planned connection for the project’s first GW into Killingholme. SMart Wind will be commencing a local consultation later in November 2011 on the preferred route for the first GW connection route into Killingholme.
