Norfolk Vanguard Offshore Wind Farm
On 11th February 2022, following a period of redetermination, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy awarded a Development Consent Order (DCO) to Norfolk Vanguard Offshore Wind Farm. The Secretary of State's decision letter and the DCO can be found in the documents section below.
Located more than 47km from the Norfolk coast, Norfolk Vanguard will provide the equivalent electricity needs of 1.95 million UK homes per year. The project will help to cement and maintain East Anglia as a UK renewable energy powerhouse, and put the region at the heart of our national transition to a low carbon economy, while supporting hundreds of local jobs and continuing to sponsor local and regional skills initiatives.
