The first turbine has been successfully installed and commissioned at the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, and on 2nd August started producing electricity to the UK grid.

“ This heralds the start of operations and is an important milestone for Scira Offshore Energy, the owner and operator of the wind farm currently being constructed off the North Norfolk coast, ” said Einar Strømsvåg, General Manager for Scira . In addition, the start up also marks that electricity from the wind farm will be traded in the UK market for the first time.
