Sheringham Shoal

StatoilHydro og Statkraft går sammen om å bygge havvindparken Sheringham Shoal utenfor kysten av Norfolk i Storbritannia. Vindparken skal bestå av 88 turbiner med en samlet installert kapasitet på 315 MW.
The UK authorities have given Statkraft and Statoil the all-clear to build the UK’s fourth largest offshore wind farm 20 kilometres north of the coastal town of Sheringham. This diamond-shaped wind farm will cover approx. 35 square kilometres. It will comprise 88 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 318 MW.

Sheringham Shoal will produce some 1.1 TWh a year, equivalent to the annual electricity requirements of 220,000 UK households. As an alternative to fossil fuels, this will save the environment around half a million tons of CO2 emissions each year. The wind farm is scheduled to be fully operational in 2012.
