East Anglia THREE – the proposal The proposed development is likely to include the following:


• Offshore wind turbines and associated foundations (anticipated to be up to 240 wind turbines, each having a rated capacity of between 5MW and 10MW, with an installed capacity of up to 1,200 MW, which could provide enough cleaner, greener energy for over 770,000 homes);


• Up to three offshore collector stations and up to two offshore converter station platforms; • Subsea interarray cables between the wind turbines and converter station and collector station platforms;


• Up to four subsea export cables to transmit electricity from the offshore platforms to shore; • Scour protection around foundations and on inter-array and export cables as required; • Landfall at Bawdsey with onshore transition pits to join the offshore and onshore cables; • Onshore underground export cables (up to four), associated jointing pits, ducting (if applicable)2, protection and associated equipment where required; and


• An onshore transformer substation/converter station at Bramford, Suffolk, to connect the offshore windfarm to the National Grid.


Figure 1 shows the proposed red line boundary for the project, i.e. the area within which offshore infrastructure will be placed.


Figure 2 shows the indicative onshore cable route for the project and the indicative transformer substation/converter station site boundary; i.e. the area within which transformer substations/converter stations for East Anglia ONE, East Anglia THREE and East Anglia FOUR would be placed.


A graphic identifying the component parts of the project is provided in Figure 3. A preliminary timetable for the consultation process is summarised in Table 1 below.


2 Further detail on the requirement for ducting is provided in the East Anglia THREE Scoping Report, and East Anglia THREE Summary of Environmental Considerations – Onshore.
