Boreas Offshore Wind Farm is designed to have a capacity of 1.4 gigawatts (GW) and will be situated 60 to 80km off the Norfolk coast in East Anglia, a region recognised as one of the world’s largest and most promising areas for offshore wind development. This project has already secured seabed rights, grid connection, Development Consent Order and all other essential permits.
This project 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. Boreas has 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 project will continue to support local and regional skills development programmes.
As construction of this project 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.
