Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd will hold a series of public information days in June to inform local residents in Lincolnshire, UK, about the wind farm’s onshore works before the initial activity begins in the coming weeks.
The Triton Knoll project team will host six sessions to provide locals with information about how the construction of the onshore cable route and the new onshore substation, including the point of landfall, will progress and what they can expect during the works.
Information days relating to the onshore substation will take place on 26 June in Bicker Village Hall and 28 June in Swineshead Village Hall.
The sessions regarding the onshore cable route and landfall will be held on 26 June in Irby & Bratoft Village Hall, 27 June in Anderby Village Hall, 28 June in Frithville Village Hall and on 29 June in Hogsthorpe Village Hall.
All events will take place from 14:30 to 19:00 local time.
Triton Knoll’s leading contractors J Murphy & Sons and Siemens Transmission and Distribution Ltd, who are in charge of the wind farm’s onshore electrical system, will also be available at the events.
“These Public Information Days will provide a great opportunity for local people to find out important information about the next steps for the project, how we aim to work going forward and what people can do to stay in touch with us. We’re keen that Triton Knoll and our contractors demonstrate from the start our commitment to being a good neighbour with all our local communities,” Triton Knoll Project Director Julian Garnsey said.
Main onshore construction is set to begin later in the summer, while the offshore works are scheduled for late 2019 at the site located some 32km off the Lincolnshire coast.
The 860MW Triton Knoll offshore wind farm will comprise 90 MHI Vestas 9.5MW wind turbines expected to be fully commissioned in 2021.
