Lynn And Inner Dowsing Wind Farm
The Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farms are a pair of round 1 wind farms located in the North Sea, in the shallow waters at the entrance to The Wash off the coast of Lincolnshire, England. The wind farms were developed as a single unit after planning consent was given in 2003. Construction work began in 2006 and was completed in 2009. The farm has a maximum output of 194MW from 54 Siemens Wind Power 3.6-107 turbines with a generating capacity of 194 MW. The capacity factor of the farm has been 31 to 36%. History Planning and construction The Lynn wind farm and the Inner Dowsing wind farm were initially developed as separate projects by AMEC and Renewable Energy Systems. The projects received planning consent in 2003. At the planning stage the development was opposed by fishermen. In 2003 Centrica Renewable Energy acquired the Lynn and the Dowsing wind farm projects and merged them into a single development. Tendering for construction of the wind farm took place from 2005, with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Inner And Outer Dowsing Sand Banks
The Inner and Outer Dowsing sand banks are shallow-water shoals off the Lincolnshire coast of the UK sector of southern North Sea. They have been used for navigation, as a commercial fishery, for aggregate dredging, and more recently as the location for major offshore wind farms. Dowsing banks and shoals The Inner Dowsing Bank is 7.5 km long north to south by 3.0 km wide. The centre of the bank is about 13 km north-east off Ingoldmells Point, Lincolnshire. The water depth ranges from 1 m to 30 m below sea-level. The Inner Dowsing Bank together with the adjacent Race Bank and North Ridge Bank have been designated a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a Marine Protected Area (MPA). The Inner Dowsing sandbank comprises coarse sand with areas of gravel, its elongated shape is maintained by the tidal currents. The Outer Dowsing Shoal is a shallow-water sand bank, aligned north-west to south-east. The shoal is about 19.5 km long and is rarely more than 1 km w ...

List Of Offshore Wind Farms In The United Kingdom
This is a list of offshore wind farms within the national maritime boundary, maritime boundaries of the United Kingdom. In April 2025 the nameplate capacity of offshore wind farms in operation was approximately 16 GW, with a further 8 GW under construction and 4.2GW in Pre-Construction. Contracts for Difference (UK electricity market support), Contracts for difference for a further 1.4 GW have been awarded by the UK Government. A further 47.3 GW are in early planning stages. If all the proposed wind farms are developed, then in the 2030s, the United Kingdom will have a nameplate capacity of approximately 79 GW. __TOC__ Operational offshore wind farms In October 2023, there were offshore wind farms consisting of 2,755 turbines with a combined capacity of 15,585 megawatts.

Wind Power In The United Kingdom
The United Kingdom is the best location for wind power in Europe and one of the best in the world. The combination of long coastline, shallow water and strong winds make offshore wind unusually effective. By 2023, the UK had over 11 thousand wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 30gigawatts (GW): 16 GW onshore and 15 GW offshore, the fifth largest capacity of any country. Wind power is the largest source of renewable energy in the UK, but at under 5% still far less primary energy than oil or fossil gas. However, wind power generates electricity which is far more powerful in terms of useful energy than the same amount of thermal primary energy. Wind generates more than a quarter of UK electricity, and as of May 2024 generates more than gas over a whole year. Polling of public opinion consistently shows strong support for wind power in the UK, with nearly three-quarters of the population agreeing with its use, even for people living near onshore wind turbines. ...

Robin Rigg Wind Farm
Robin Rigg Wind Farm is Scotland's first offshore wind farm. It was constructed by E.ON at Robin Rigg, a sandbank in the Solway Firth midway between the Galloway and Cumbrian coasts. It first generated power for test purposes on 9 September 2009, and was completed on 20 April 2010. Description 60 Vestas V90-3MW wind turbines were installed, with an offshore electrical substation. Prysmian provided two 132 kV export cables each 12.5 km long to connect the wind farm to the on-shore substation. Two units were subsequently decommissioned in 2015 due to failures during installation. The 174 MW development provides enough electricity for around 117,000 households. The wind farm employs around 40 people, most of whom are local to the area. It is operated from the Port of Workington. Local suppliers are used whenever possible, providing services including vessel management, fabrication, environmental monitoring, catering, industrial cleaning, inspection services an ...

Lincs Wind Farm
The Lincs Wind Farm is a 270 MW offshore wind farm off Skegness on the east coast of England. The total cost of the project is estimated at £1 billion including electrical transmission links. The farm was completed in 2013. It is adjacent to the smaller Lynn and Inner Dowsing Wind Farm. History Centrica acquired the Lincs Wind Farm project in 2004 from Renewable Energy Systems, in 2008 the company obtained planning permission for the project. In December 2009 Ørsted A/S (then named DONG Energy) and Siemens Project Ventures jointly acquired 50% of the project (25% share each) for £50 million, plus 50% of the capital cost of the project. Preparatory construction work for the development included the extension of the National Grid electricity substation at Walpole, Norfolk, which began in April 2009. In June 2010 Siemens obtained the contract for the offshore electrical substation (£101 million). Transmission cables from offshore to onshore elect ...

Levelised Cost
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a measure of the average net present cost of electricity generation for a generator over its lifetime. It is used for investment planning and to compare different methods of electricity generation on a consistent basis. The more general term levelized cost of energy may include the costs of either electricity or heat. The latter is also referred to as ''levelized cost of heat''''A Comparative Cost Assessment of Energy Production from ...'' Nian, Energy Procedia, 2016 or ''levelized cost of heating'' (LCOH), or ''levelized cost of thermal energy''. Definition The cost of electricity production depends on costs during the ''expected'' lifetime of the generator and the amount of electricity the generator is ''expecte ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Port Of Grimsby
The Port of Grimsby is located on the south bank of the Humber Estuary at Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire. Sea trade out of Grimsby dates to at least the medieval period. The ''Grimsby Haven Company'' began dock development in the late 1700s, and the port was further developed from the 1840s onwards by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MSLR) and its successors. The port has had three main dock systems: The earliest dock, or ''Old Dock'' was developed in the 1790s, downriver from the medieval Haven, on the outfall of the same water course; in around 1880 it was expanded westwards, and renamed ''Alexandra Dock'', being connected to the Royal Dock system by a short canal, named the ''Union Dock''. From the 1880s the dock's focus was coal, later timber. From the 1970s onwards the dock has been used for large-scale car importation. The ''Royal Dock'' was developed from the 1840s onwards, contemporary with the arrival of the railway – it was built on a large a ...
