Iberdrola — ScottishPower and Masdar, as a joint venture, announced the completion of all 95 foundations for the 1.4GW East Anglia THREE offshore windfarm off the Suffolk coast. The foundations, including monopiles and transition pieces, were installed by Seaway7 using its jack-up vessel Seaway Ventus. The project, valued at approximately £4 billion, is on track to become fully operational by the end of 2026, generating enough clean energy for over 1.3 million UK homes. The development has invested nearly £2 billion in the UK supply chain, supporting 2,300 construction jobs and creating around 100 long-term roles. East Anglia THREE is the second project under the Masdar-Iberdrola strategic partnership and Masdar's first 50:50 offshore wind joint venture in the UK.
