Location

 

The Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm site is located in the Greater Wash, between 17 and 22 kilometres off the Norfolk coast, north of the seaside town of Sheringham. The site was chosen because it:

  • lies within a government approved area for development
  • enjoys high wind speeds
  • has favourable water depths
  • has relatively low levels of fishing activity
  • affords good access
  • has grid connection options
  • is outside protected and scientifically designated areas.
