Wind farm layout
Greater Gabbard is a 504 MW wind farm, built on sandbanks 23 kilometres (14 mi) off the coast of Suffolk in England at a cost of £1.5 billion. It was completed on 7 September 2012 with all of the Siemens SWT3.6–107 turbines connected.[2] Developed as a joint venture between Airtricity and Fluor, it is now jointly owned by SSE Renewables and RWE.
A 336 MW extension of the wind farm called Galloper was commissioned in April 2018.[3][4]
