The project’s execution will be managed from Seaway7’s office in Aberdeen, Scotland, with offshore activities beginning in 2027.

Awarded in the UK government’s contracts for difference (CfD) allocation round in September 2024, $5.1bn East Anglia TWO is set to deliver 960MW of clean energy, sufficient to power one million homes.

The project forms part of the East Anglia Hub offshore wind complex in UK waters, which comprises three consented offshore wind farm developments: East Anglia ONE (operational), East Anglia TWO and East Anglia THREE, cumulatively providing 4GW capacity.

Seaway7 CEO Stuart Fitzgerald stated: “This award builds upon our leading position in the UK and represents a significant contribution to the UK’s renewable target. With this project, we also look forward to continuing our relationship with ScottishPower Renewables on our second East Anglia Hub project together, with East Anglia THREE currently in execution.”

In June 2023, Seaway7 received a contract from ScottishPower Renewables to transport and install foundations and inter-array cables for the East Anglia THREE wind farm.

ScottishPower Renewables’ CEO Charlie Jordan stated: “It’s great to confirm so much of our supply chain for East Anglia TWO on the back of achieving our CfD and we look forward to building on the positive working relationship we already have with Seaway7 on East Anglia THREE.

“Getting our EA TWO supply chain in place through confirmed contracts like this means we’re ready to hit the ground – and water! – running and bring another gigawatt of clean, green energy to life, making a real difference for people, places and planet for decades to come.”
