East Anglia THREE Completes All 95 Foundations for 1.4 GW UK Offshore Wind Farm
ScottishPower Renewables and Masdar announced August 17-18, 2026 that all 95 monopile foundations and transition pieces have been installed at the £4 billion East Anglia THREE offshore wind farm off the Suffolk coast, England. The foundations -- 1,200-1,800 tonnes each, up to 84 metres tall -- are among the largest installed from a jack-up vessel in Europe. Once operational by end of 2026, the 95-turbine, 1.4 GW project will power more than 1.3 million UK homes. It is Masdar's first 50:50 offshore wind joint venture in the UK, with roughly £2 billion invested in the UK supply chain and 2,300 jobs supported during construction.
