East Anglia Three, which will be located off the coast of Norfolk and will have a capacity of 1.400 megawatts (MW), enough to supply clean energy to 1,3 million homes once it is commissioned in 2026. East Anglia Three will be part of the East Anglia complex, which currently has 714 MW of power already installed, with which it is possible to supply 630.000 British homes, and for which Windar previously built 42 jackets and 126 pin piles.
With this new contract, Windar positions itself as a leader in the manufacturing of these offshore substructures and strengthens its relationship with Iberdrola for more than 9 years, adding to the contracts previously awarded for Iberdrola's offshore wind farms in United Kingdom, Germany, France and the United States.
Currently Windar Renovables also participates in the manufacturing of this type of product for other large Iberdrola marine parks, such as Baltic Eagle, in German waters (50 transition pieces) and Vineyard Wind I (62 transition pieces) on the coast of Massachusetts, United States.According to the executive president of Windar Renovables, Orlando Alonso, “the contract represents progress for our group in the offshore wind energy market that consolidates us as a world reference in the provision of services of which Iberdrola will be the first beneficiary. ”.
