First turbine installed at 857 MW Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm in Lincolnshire

Triton Knoll has confirmed that the first of its 90 offshore wind turbines has been safely and successfully installed.

The V164-9.5 MW turbines are manufactured by Vestas, which has placed its Isle of Wight and Fawley blade facilities at the heart of component production.

All blades, nacelles, and tower sections are being handled at a specialist turbine pre-assembly and construction base, established by Triton Knoll and Vestas at Able Seaton Port, in Teesside. Installation is being carried out by DEME, using the jack-up vessel Wind Osprey, provided by Cadeler.

Triton Knoll is owned by RWE, J-Power, and Kansai Electric Power Co.
