Project-specific web sources found during research clearly identify the turbine platform as V164-8.0 MW, but did not openly restate rotor diameter on the project page itself. Per the required fallback rule, I therefore use the linked EuroWindWakes project-turbine value of 164 m.

The freshest ownership source relied on is The Crown Estate page published around late 2024/early 2025 crawl context, which lists Burbo Bank – Ørsted – 100% Ørsted. A 2021 legal case-study page also states the original project is 100% owned by Ørsted.

research_summary:
Opening-era technical coverage says the 90 MW wind farm was operated by SeaScape Energy, a DONG-owned company. The freshest source date relied on for current ownership is The Crown Estate ownership page (published/crawled 2025 context) confirming 100% Ørsted ownership of Burbo Bank.

research_summary:
Publicly accessible sources reviewed clearly confirm gross installed capacity at 90 MW, but I did not find an openly accessible project-specific source that explicitly states the original Burbo Bank MEC as a separate export limit. To avoid conflating gross capacity with export capacity, MEC is left unconfirmed.

Project-specific sources identify the turbine model as SWT-3.6-107, and POWER’s project article describes a 350-foot rotor, equivalent to about 106.7 m. Because project-specific web evidence is limited on a clean metric value, the linked EuroWindWakes fallback value of 107 m is used, consistent with the project-specific model references.

Project-specific web evidence gives a tower height of about 210 ft in one 2007 project article, which is approximately 64 m above mean sea level context and is not a clean, explicit project hub-height statement. Per the required fallback rule, the linked EuroWindWakes dataset value 84 m is used because project-specific web sources remained inconclusive on hub height.

research_summary:
The clearest accessible regulatory evidence is DESNZ’s 2024 decision letter, which says the Section 36 consent was granted on 9 July 2003. A 2010 extension scoping report corroborates this at month level (“awarded in July 2003”).

research_summary:
The CMACS monitoring report says first power was generated in July 2007, while POWER gives the more specific date 21 July 2007. Because one source is month-level and one is day-level, the stronger specific date is supported, but normalized conservatively here to 01/07/2007 only if month-level certainty is preferred; the research basis indicates first generation occurred in July 2007 and likely on 21 July 2007.

research_summary:
Ørsted’s project summary clearly separates the wider site into three phases and identifies Gunfleet Sands 1 as the phase with 30 turbines. Historic project references also use “Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Plant/Project” for the original 108 MW phase before later extensions.

research_summary:
For the built project, the most reliable current ownership evidence is Ørsted’s project summary, which states Gunfleet Sands 1 and 2 are owned by Ørsted (50.1%), JERA (24.95%) and DBJ (24.95%) and operated by Ørsted. Freshness note: the Ørsted project summary page surfaced in current search results as a live project PDF and The Crown Estate OFTO page is explicitly dated 31/12/2024 but relates to transmission ownership, not generation ownership.

GE’s 28/10/2003 announcement shows GE held the project at consent stage. Ørsted’s 18/12/2006 announcement states DONG Energy acquired the project company holding all rights to construction of Gunfleet Sands from General Electric. Ørsted’s 01/11/2011 announcement states that on 01/09/2011 Marubeni and DONG Energy entered into an agreement for Marubeni to acquire 49.9% of the 172 MW Gunfleet Sands offshore wind farm. Current ownership is shown on Ørsted and JERA pages; JERA says it has participated since 2019.

research_summary:
Publicly accessible sources reviewed here consistently provide gross installed capacity, but I did not find an open authoritative source that explicitly states a phase-specific MEC for Gunfleet Sands I alone. I therefore leave MEC as Not confirmed rather than inferring it from installed capacity or shared-site transmission information.

research_summary:
Project-specific web evidence for the exact phase model is decent but scattered. Ørsted confirms 3.6 MW Siemens turbines for Gunfleet Sands 1, and multiple open sources tie Gunfleet Sands 1 specifically to SWT-3.6-107. Because the user-provided linked EuroWindWakes row is project-linked and explicit, it is used as the required fallback confirmation for the exact model designation.

research_summary:
Ørsted’s historic project announcement for Gunfleet Sands states the turbines have 107 m rotor diameter. The linked EuroWindWakes turbine row also gives 107 m; this is used as the required fallback support because rotor values are often only clearly stated at whole-site level.

research_summary:
I did not find a clearly phase-specific open authoritative webpage that explicitly states Gunfleet Sands I hub height. Per the required fallback rule, I therefore use the linked EuroWindWakes project-turbine metadata value of 75 m and state this explicitly rather than inferring from generic SWT-3.6-107 brochures or other wind farms.

research_summary:
Open sources conflict slightly on whether to reference the public announcement in October 2003 or the legal order/issued consent in 2004. For the project row, 01/03/2004 is the better normalized consent date because Ørsted’s project timeline says Gunfleet Sands 1 received consent in March 2004, and planning documentation reproduced in later government/inspectorate material also lists 01/03/2004 for Gunfleet Sands I.

For Phase 1 specifically, open phase-level evidence is limited. Ørsted’s timeline says Gunfleet Sands 1 and 2 were officially inaugurated in June 2010, while its 2011 announcement says the entire wind farm went into production in spring 2010. The linked EuroWindWakes project-turbine metadata gives commissioning date 01/06/2010 for Gunfleet Sands I, and I use that as the required fallback for the phase-specific table value.

Developer: DONG Energy (now Ørsted). Current owners at wider Gunfleet Sands project level: Ørsted A/S, JERA Nex bp, and Development Bank of Japan. Operator: Ørsted.

research_summary:
The phase was developed by DONG Energy per the project ES. For current ownership, the freshest dated official source found is JERA’s 09/12/2024 press release on the bp/JERA JV, which lists Gunfleet Sands, UK 43 MW within the contributed portfolio; JERA’s live Gunfleet Sands project page also lists investors as JERA Nex bp, Ørsted A/S and DBJ. Ørsted’s August 2020 project summary confirms Ørsted operates and maintains Gunfleet Sands. Phase-specific current percentage splits for Gunfleet Sands II alone were not openly confirmed; public owner disclosures are at wider-project level.

Originally developed/owned by DONG Energy; Marubeni acquired a stake in 09/2011; Marubeni agreed to divest part of its shares to DBJ on 27/12/2013; by 09/12/2024 JERA/bp’s offshore wind JV disclosures show JERA Nex bp holding a Gunfleet Sands interest.

research_summary:
Ownership history is clearer than phase-specific current split. Marubeni’s 27/12/2013 release says it had been a co-investor since September 2011 and was divesting part of its Gunfleet Sands shares to DBJ. The freshest source date relied on for the latest ownership change signal is JERA’s 09/12/2024 press release, which includes Gunfleet Sands in the portfolio moving into JERA Nex bp.

research_summary:
Open web sources reviewed clearly support installed capacity but do not cleanly provide a phase-specific MEC for Gunfleet Sands II. Available Ofgem material relates to the shared Gunfleet Sands 1+2 transmission assets rather than a distinct GS2-only MEC, so a phase-specific MEC is not confirmed.

Marubeni’s 27/12/2013 release on Gunfleet Sands says “The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m,” but this is for the wider Gunfleet Sands project. Because project-specific web evidence for GS2 alone remained limited, the linked EuroWindWakes row was used as the required fallback; it matches 107 m.

Repaired to use openly accessible source-of-record web evidence rather than the failed factbook quote. Vattenfall’s live asset page explicitly gives Vattenfall ownership share 100 % and shows the project In Operation, which supports current owner/operator status. For development history, an archived Elsam press release states Elsam entered into an agreement ... to purchase the Kentish Flats project in 11/2003, providing a clear historic developer/acquirer record for the original project.

Vattenfall’s live asset page states Vattenfall ownership share 100 %. The 24/10/2025 Kent press release confirms Kentish Flats remains one of Vattenfall’s operating offshore wind farms in Kent. I did not find an accessible official page that sets out the full earlier ownership chain for KF1, so this row is limited to the currently verifiable position.

research_summary:
Open web sources clearly confirm installed capacity and that the grid connection uses three separate export cables, but I did not find an openly accessible authoritative source explicitly stating a project MEC value distinct from installed capacity. A secondary open project page describes the export link as 90 MW, 132 kV, which supports that gross and export capacity are likely aligned, but it is not strong enough to treat as definitive MEC.

research_summary:
Project-specific web evidence ties Kentish Flats to Vestas V90 3MW turbines. This also matches the linked EuroWindWakes turbine metadata, but fallback was not needed because project-specific web sources were sufficiently clear.

research_summary:
Project-specific web sourcing for rotor diameter was limited. Because the project-specific web trail was not strong enough on this exact field, I used the linked EuroWindWakes turbine metadata required fallback, which gives rotor diameter 90 m; this is consistent with the project’s V90-3.0 MW designation in web sources.

Project-specific web sources did not cleanly and authoritatively state hub height for KF1, so the linked EuroWindWakes fallback value 70 m was used, consistent with secondary project summaries.

research_summary:
Older and current Vattenfall sources are consistent that the project was developed by Vattenfall and remains wholly held within the Vattenfall group. The freshest dated source relied on is the 25/03/2025 Vattenfall annual-report index linking the 2024 report, whose indexed text shows Kentish Flats Ltd ... Participation in % 2024 100. No contrary official evidence of a later transfer or JV split was found.

research_summary:
Project-specific web evidence is strong: Vestas’ order states 15 x V112-3.3 MW offshore turbines for Kentish Flats Extension. This aligns with the linked EuroWindWakes fallback row, so no inference from a generic turbine page was needed.

Project-specific web sources clearly tie the V112 platform to Kentish Flats Extension, but do not always spell out rotor diameter numerically on-page. Because project-specific web evidence for the numeric rotor diameter was limited, I used the linked EuroWindWakes fallback value of 112 m, which is consistent with the project-specific V112 model evidence.

research_summary:
Open web sources clearly support installed capacity 630 MW and describe four 150 kV export cable circuits, but I did not find an openly accessible source that explicitly states a formal project MEC value distinct from installed capacity. I therefore leave MEC as Not confirmed rather than infer it from cable configuration or gross capacity.

Project-specific web sources confirm Siemens 3.6 MW turbines and 120 m rotor diameter, which aligns with the linked EuroWindWakes turbine row. Because project-specific web evidence does not clearly spell out the exact full model code on a current official page, the exact model designation SWT-3.6-120 is taken from the required linked EuroWindWakes fallback, supported by project-specific sources on OEM/rating/rotor.

research_summary:
Project-specific open web sources clearly confirm 300 MW installed capacity, but an explicit MEC label was not found on an accessible project/regulator page. Using 300 MW as the best-supported export figure is consistent with one offshore substation and two 132 kV export cables; treat as effectively confirmed but not explicitly labelled MEC.

Fresh ownership confirmation comes from SSE’s live asset page and RWE’s 20/06/2022 press release; both state a 50:50 JV between SSE Renewables and RWE Renewables. SSE’s page says SSE operates the wind farm; RWE’s newer dated release says SSE “will continue to operate” the site. Freshest source date relied on: 20/06/2022 for ownership/operation, with SSE live asset page as current portfolio confirmation.

research_summary:
Project transmission documents support 500 MW export / grid connection capacity, distinct from 504 MW installed generation capacity. Ofgem PIM states a 500MW grid connection and KEMA states Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC): 500MW; this is the best accessible proxy for MEC.

Project-specific web sources confirm 140 Siemens 3.6 MW turbines, but most do not spell out the full model code. Because project-specific web evidence for the exact suffix remains thin, the linked EuroWindWakes turbine metadata was used as the required fallback for the full model designation SWT-3.6-107; this is consistent with Siemens/RWE project references to 140 x 3.6 MW Siemens turbines.

research_summary:
No accessible page explicitly labels a formal “FID” date. The closest investable commitment milestone evidenced in authoritative documents is SSE’s sale of 50% to RWE in 11/2008, after SSE had already acquired full control in 05/2008 and construction began in 2008. This is therefore the best-supported proxy and should be treated as an inferred FID-equivalent milestone, not a board-paper FID quote.

SSE’s current asset page states “In 2011 the first two turbines produced power to the National Grid.” Since only the year is confirmed there, the normalized table date is 01/01/2011. Older RWE material references first generation in December 2010, but SSE’s current project page uses 2011; the more conservative value is used here.

The more precise month-level evidence supports 01/09/2012 as the normalized full commissioning date.

Open authoritative web sources reviewed confirm installed capacity but did not clearly state a separate project MEC/export-capacity figure. No robust openly accessible regulator/owner source located with an explicit MEC value, so this remains Not confirmed rather than inferred from installed capacity.

Sources conflict here: RWE’s current page says Commissioned in March 2004, while project construction/operations sources indicate generation began in July 2004 and all turbines completed test runs by December 2004. The as-built/commercial completion timing is therefore best represented as 01/12/2004 using month-level normalization.

research_summary:
Freshest dated source relied on is the 11/03/2025 Scira modern slavery statement on the project website, which confirms Equinor operates the asset for Scira. Current owner names are consistently given on the live project site as Equinor, Equitix and Green Investment Group; newer Norfolk extension communications also describe the operational Sheringham Shoal wind farm as owned by Equinor, an Equitix-linked vehicle, and Macquarie Asset Management via MGREF1, with Equinor operating it. No current official page found that openly reconciles the full percentage split across all three current owners.

research_summary:
Freshest source date relied on for current structure context is 17/12/2024 (Scira extension-project news), but the clearest dated ownership-history milestones come from official legacy sources: Scira’s August 2008 newsletter shows Evelop 45% / StatoilHydro 55%; Statkraft’s 15/12/2017 release gives the 2009 FID split, the 27/11/2014 GIB dilution to 40/40/20, and Statkraft’s sale of its 40% stake to Equitix. I did not find a newer open official source that cleanly reconciles the present-day full percentages among Equinor, Equitix/TRIG vehicle(s), and Macquarie/GIG.

research_summary:
The clearest project-specific and grid-side evidence points to 315 MW export/generating capacity for the transmission connection, distinct from the later as-built installed capacity of 316.8 MW. This is the gross-capacity-versus-export-capacity nuance for Sheringham Shoal.

research_summary:
Current project facts page says “Turbine tower height 80 metres”; the project decommissioning programme gives a more exact as-built hub height of 81.75 m. Because the user required hub height specifically and project-specific web evidence is slightly inconsistent in phrasing, I use 80 m as the rounded public-facing value and note the decommissioning document’s 81.75 m. I did not need the EuroWindWakes fallback because project-specific evidence exists.

There is some ambiguity between “full strength” on 24/07/2013, official opening on 01/08/2013, and later references to commissioning complete in September 2013. For the operational project milestone, Ørsted’s 2017 release explicitly says “fully operational since 1 August 2013”, so 01/08/2013 is the best supported commissioning date for the built asset.

research_summary:
The project website confirms the current owner group as Equinor, China Resources and Masdar, and Equinor is identified as operator. Masdar’s current project sheet explicitly gives the reconciled ownership split 35/35/30. Freshness note: Masdar project sheet was published in March 2026 (“last month” in search index), while the Dudgeon site was crawled in 2026 and still states Equinor operates the asset.

research_summary:
Public web sources do not clearly label a separate “MEC” figure. The best open regulatory proxy is Ofgem’s transmission-licence release, which describes the licensed link to the wind farm and repeats project capacity as 402MW; no authoritative open source located during research showed a lower export cap than installed capacity.

research_summary:
Accessible project-specific web sources reviewed did not explicitly state Dudgeon’s as-built rotor diameter. Per the required fallback rule, the linked EuroWindWakes project turbine metadata value 154 m was used. This is consistent with the fallback model designation SWT-6.0-154, but the chosen value is from the linked dataset fallback rather than a generic model page.

The Dudgeon Section 36 consent states no turbine shall exceed a height of 110 metres to the hub. Project-specific web sources did not surface a clearer accessible as-built hub-height statement, while the linked EuroWindWakes row also gives 110 m; both align, so 110 m is used with moderate confidence.

research_summary:
Masdar’s project sheet and Dudgeon’s 22/11/2017 opening news both state 67 turbines. This aligns with the non-web validation signals provided in the prompt, including the linked-turbine count and EMODnet hint, both also at 67.

Open web sources consistently indicate the wind farm was fully commissioned in October 2017, but without a single day visible in the accessible text reviewed. Following the normalization rule for month-only evidence, this is recorded as 01/10/2017. The official opening ceremony happened later on 22/11/2017.

research_summary:
Freshest source date relied on for current structure is The Crown Estate ownership page as at 31/12/2024. The Macquarie divestment announcement explains that Norges Bank bought a 37.5% stake and notes Macquarie Capital had already sold its 25% stake in 2017; combined with the 2018 official opening ownership statement, this reconciles the later structure.

Project-specific web sources consistently confirm Siemens Gamesa 6 MW turbines but do not clearly spell out the full model code on accessible official pages. The linked EuroWindWakes dataset value SWT-6.0-154 was therefore used as the required fallback, consistent with project-specific web evidence.

Using the linked EuroWindWakes commissioning date and the operational milestone, I select 01/02/2018 as the best full-commissioning date and note the January/February wording difference.

research_summary:
The original E.ON ownership is shown in project development and Ofgem transmission documents. Ownership history is then corroborated by RWE’s 23/11/2020 divestment announcement and newer RWE 01/10/2025 confirmation of the resulting 51/49 structure. Freshest ownership confirmation relied on: 01/10/2025.

research_summary:
The blocked OFTO accounts source was replaced with an openly accessible Ofgem source-of-record page and project-specific PIM wording. Ofgem’s Humber Gateway PIM states the wind farm “will consist of 73 Vestas 3.0MW turbines, with a maximum total generating capacity of 219MW”, and Ofgem’s OFTO Tender Round 3 page lists “Installed capacity: 219 MW”. These are the strongest open regulator sources found for the export-capacity-equivalent figure used here.

Hard open-web project-specific evidence for formal FID wording is limited. Tethys records construction start as 01/12/2011, and E.ON’s December 2011 public announcement of a 73-turbine 219 MW project is the closest open confirmation of the go-ahead. Month-level evidence is therefore normalized to 01/12/2011.

research_summary:
There is a mild wording conflict: Offshore Wind says the project “went into full operation in May” and Tethys gives operation start 01/05/2015, while a UK government review lists completion 01/02/2015. Because project-specific operational reporting indicates full operation in May 2015, 01/05/2015 is the most likely full commissioning date; the February government date likely reflects a different completion milestone in that review dataset.

research_summary:
Ownership needs careful freshness handling. The clearest project-specific ownership split found is Ørsted’s project summary stating Ørsted (50%), Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 5 (12.5%), Green Investment Group (6.25%) and other funds (31.25%); that source is older/undated but project-specific. Freshest dated ownership-context source relied on is Green Investment Group’s June 2025 green impact report confirming continued GIG involvement in Westermost Rough, but it does not restate the full cap table. Because no newer official JV/project page reconciling all partners was found, the project-specific Ørsted split is retained with caution.

research_summary:
Freshest dated source relied on for ownership history is GIG’s June 2025 green impact report as ongoing context, but the dated transaction milestones come from 31/03/2014 GIG’s construction-stage acquisition note, 27/03/2018 Marubeni’s sale announcement, and Ørsted’s project summary for the later reconciled split. The ownership path is therefore evidence-backed, though the ultimate identities inside other funds were not fully project-specifically disclosed in accessible official pages found.

research_summary:
GLID states each of Lynn and Inner Dowsing has 27 turbines and 97.2 MW capacity. UK government screening lists Lynn as 97 MW; this is consistent once rounded, so 97.2 MW is the more precise project figure.

research_summary:
A contemporaneous financing report on Centrica’s refinancing states that Lynn and Inner Dowsing were each 97 MW installed with combined maximum grid export capacity of 180 MW. On a project-by-project basis, that implies 90 MW for Lynn. I did not find a better openly accessible Lynn-only official MEC page, so this remains a best-supported project-level inference from a source explicitly covering Lynn and Inner Dowsing together.

research_summary:
GLID states each project has 27 Siemens 3.6-107 turbines. This matches the linked EuroWindWakes project metadata fallback (SWT-3.6-107), so the web evidence is sufficiently project-specific and consistent with the dataset hint.

GLID’s project-specific wording “Siemens 3.6-107” supports the 107 m rotor class, and the linked EuroWindWakes turbine row gives rotor diameter 107 m. Because project webpages do not separately spell out rotor diameter in a clean label-value format, the linked EuroWindWakes value is used as the required fallback-confirmation.

A later statutory instrument also references “the Lynn Offshore Wind Farm Order 2003”; taken together, this indicates the project order existed in 2003 but the government screening table gives the operative consent date used here as 14/08/2004.

I did not find a clean official Lynn-only FID notice. Siemens’ project press release says the development would be completed by the end of 2008, while contemporaneous reporting shows major execution under way by 2006–2007. Because exact FID is hard to source accessibly, this remains a conservative year-level proxy of 01/01/2007, and should be treated as lower-confidence than the consent/commissioning dates.

No accessible project-specific first-export announcement was found. Government screening shows Lynn completed on 15/03/2008, while GLID says the projects entered full operation in 03/2009. I therefore record 01/01/2008 as a year-level first-power proxy, with the caveat that accessible sources more clearly evidence completion and full operation than first export.

research_summary:
Centrica’s 2007 and 2016 releases confirm Centrica developed and built the project. For current ownership, the freshest dated source relied on is Macquarie announcement dated 17/07/2024, which says Macquarie agreed to acquire BlackRock’s remaining 39.25% in the Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farms, taking the combined portfolio to 100%. I did not find a newer official project/JV page that separately allocates ownership to Inner Dowsing alone, so I avoid overstating a project-specific split beyond the combined portfolio.

research_summary:
Green Investment Group’s 2016 release gives the clearest openly accessible historic ownership chain after the blocked Centrica page: it states the fund and BlackRock-managed funds acquired GLID from Centrica and EIG, and that the fund would own 61% of the 194 MW Lynn and Inner Dowsing offshore wind farms while BlackRock-managed funds would own the remaining 39%. Macquarie’s own 17/07/2024 release adds that Macquarie GIG Renewable Energy Fund 1 acquired a 60.75 per cent stake in 2016 and that Macquarie intended to acquire an additional 39.25 per cent from BlackRock-managed funds. I retain the 10/2009 step from the original row because the combined historic chain remains internally consistent and is corroborated by the project’s later official ownership descriptions, but replace the blocked source with accessible official owner/investor pages.

research_summary:
The project-specific government table lists Inner Dowsing as 97 MW (rounded), while multiple secondary/open references give 97.2 MW, which aligns exactly with 27 × 3.6 MW and with the database validation context. I therefore select 97.2 MW as the more precise figure.

research_summary:
I found evidence on installed capacity and on the shared/distribution-style connection arrangements for Lynn and Inner Dowsing, but no openly accessible source that clearly states a project-specific Inner Dowsing MEC. To avoid confusing gross installed capacity with export/network capacity, this remains unconfirmed.

research_summary:
Project-specific web evidence confirms Inner Dowsing used Siemens SWT-3.6-107 turbines. This is also consistent with the linked EuroWindWakes turbine metadata, but dataset fallback was not needed because project-tied web evidence was available.

Project-specific web sources reviewed did not clearly state hub height for Inner Dowsing. Per the required fallback rule, I therefore use the linked EuroWindWakes 2025 turbine metadata value of 80 m for Inner Dowsing’s SWT-3.6-107 turbines.
