en.Wedoany.com Reported - The East Anglia the third phase of offshore wind farm, jointly developed by ScottishPower and Masdar, recently completed the installation of its first wind turbine. The turbine features 115-meter-long blades, making it one of the larger models of its kind.

The project has a total installed capacity of 1.4 gigawatts and, once fully operational, will be able to power more than 1.3 million homes, helping to reduce carbon emissions. All 285 blades are manufactured in the UK, supporting local supply chains and employment. The turbines stand approximately 262 meters tall, reflecting advancements in offshore wind technology.

Charlie Jordan, CEO of ScottishPower Renewables, said: "This is a decisive moment for ScottishPower, Iberdrola, and Masdar—and a UK industry first—as we celebrate and accelerate the large-scale deployment of indigenous renewable energy." He also noted that the project will bring billions of pounds in investment, support thousands of jobs during the construction phase, and create long-term positions in East England.

Hussein Al Mir, Global Head of Offshore Wind at Masdar, stated: "We are proud to partner with ScottishPower and Iberdrola to bring this project to life, helping to ensure a clean energy future for the UK while creating jobs and driving sustainable growth. We see vast potential in offshore wind, not only in the UK but also across the broader European market."
