ScottishPower Renewables East Anglia

ScottishPower Renewables is launching Phase 4, the final phase of consultation on its proposed East Anglia TWO and East Anglia ONE North offshore windfarm projects, which will run until 26th March 2019.  

Following previous pre-application consultation phases with the local community and stakeholders, ScottishPower Renewables has listened to feedback, developed the proposals and incorporated these into draft documents to be presented at this final phase of consultation.

Phase 4 is based on a draft Environmental Statement, which sets out the proposed infrastructure and its potential environmental impacts. It will provide further information on the proposals, including the Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR) and the key findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment, to include detailed information on traffic, flooding and landscaping.

The site selection chapter sets out the reasons for ScottishPower Renewables’ choice of substation site, taking into account the environmental, social and economic effects and including, where relevant, technical and commercial feasibility.

ScottishPower Renewables is holding 13 Public Information Days where the project team and technical experts will be on hand to talk through the information, share details on how the proposals have developed since the previous phase of consultation and answer questions.




East Anglia TWO and East Anglia ONE North, with a capacity of 900MW and 800MW respectively, follow-on from the 714 MW East Anglia ONE project that is currently in construction and the 1,200MW East Anglia THREE scheme, which received planning consent in 2017.  East Anglia TWO and East Anglia ONE North could provide enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 1.5 million homes*.

David Walker, Development Director at ScottishPower Renewables, said: “As a responsible developer, we are keen to work with local communities and stakeholders to share the latest information on our proposals, answer questions and receive feedback.

“During Phase 4, we will be consulting with stakeholders and residents on the environmental reports, as well as sharing further information on the proposed onshore development area, mitigation and traffic plans.

“Community views play an important part in shaping our proposals and we encourage as many people as possible to take part in the consultation, to engage with us and provide feedback.”

The consultation material, including the Preliminary Environmental Information Report, will be available from 11th February 2019 until 26th March 2019 at the following locations:
