RWE has acquired three offshore wind projects in the UK from Vattenfall, located off the coast of Norfolk with a capacity of 1.4 GW each. These projects have secured key permits and rights, with plans for commissioning in this decade. RWE is welcoming the majority of Vattenfall’s Norfolk team to help with project delivery. The Norfolk Vanguard West and East projects are most advanced, aiming to secure a Contract for Difference in upcoming auctions, while the Norfolk Boreas project will resume development.

The focus is now on securing supplier agreements for key components and entering the projects in a Contract for Difference auction.
