Vattenfall has announced that it has received planning approval from the UK government for its proposed 1.8 GW Norfolk Vanguard Offshore Wind Farm. This is in addition to the approval it received in December of 2021 for the 1.8 GW Norfolk Boreas project, both projects being located in the Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone.

Danielle Lane, UK Country manager for Vattenfall, said: “Today is a major step forward for a project that will help to unlock the huge potential of offshore wind for the UK. We’re committed to making sure that these projects bring real, lasting benefit to the East of England, with jobs, supply chain, and skills investment throughout construction and operation. We’ll be working closely with local communities as we begin to take the project towards construction. This will include preparatory works on the ground, but also work with our local partners to make sure we get our plans right to maximise benefits to the region.”
