1.3 Project Introduction 7.
8. 9.
East Anglia THREE covers an area of approximately 370km2 and is situated 79km from its central point to the port of Lowestoft.
East Anglia FOUR covers an area of approximately 359km2 and is situated approximately 91km from its central point to the port of Lowestoft.
It is anticipated that each Project would consist of the following infrastructure:
• Offshore wind turbines and associated foundations (anticipated to be up to maximum of 240 wind turbines, each having a rated capacity of between 5MW and 10MW, with an installed capacity of up to 1,200 MW);
• Scour protection around foundations and on inter-array and export cables as required;
• Offshore collector and converter stations platforms with foundations (up to five);
• Subsea cables between the wind turbines and substation platforms
• Subsea export cables to transmit electricity from the offshore platforms to shore; and
• Landfall at Bawdsey with onshore transition pits to connect the offshore and onshore cables.
• Onshore cable route (37km long) between the landfall at Bawdsey and the Converter Station site adjacent to an existing substation near Bramford.

The draft DCO for the East Anglia ONE Offshore Windfarm comprises its offshore and onshore export cables, the converter station at Bramford and the onshore cable ducts for East Anglia THREE and East Anglia FOUR. To minimise disruption to local communities, it is hoped it will be possible to install this ducting at the same time as the cables are laid for East Anglia ONE. However, this is subject to consent and to
