East Anglia Three monopiles built

Navantia Seanergies


A large batch of monopiles has been completed for the 1.4GW East Anglia Three offshore wind farm in the UK.

Navantia Seanergies and Windar Renovables announced that 45 of the 1,800-ton foundations are now ready for delivery after rolling off the production line at the Navantia shipyard in Fene, Spain.

They are intended for East Anglia Three, the third phase of the East Anglia complex off the coast of Norfolk and Suffolk, which will be able to provide power to 1.3 millions homes once complete.

Javier Herrador, Navantia's director, said: "We are delighted to see this collaboration with Iberdrola come to fruition, allowing us to contribute to the generation of clean energy while supporting industrialization and creating employment and wealth in a strategic sector for Europe."

Orlando Alonso, chairman of Windar Renovables, added: "The extraordinary work carried out by all individuals and companies involved in this order to meet the needs of a top-tier client like Iberdrola, which is positioning Spain at the global forefront of renewable energies."

Navantia Seanergies has earlier built a substation for East Anglia One and, in collaboration with Windar, supplied 42 jacket-type foundations.
