In November 2010, we signed our largest ever UK connection contract for the full 7.2 GW of capacity for East Anglia Offshore Wind Ltd. The project will commission wind turbines in 10 stages between 2015 and 2021. Of the total capacity, 6.6 GW will be delivered before 2020.
Compared to currently completed power projects worldwide, the 7.2 GW East Anglia offshore wind farm would be the sixth largest power station, and the second largest non hydro project, in the world.
In the US, we received regulatory approval for power purchase agreements for two unique offshore wind generating projects. Deepwater Wind is a 28.8 MW project off the coast of Rhode Island and is intended to demonstrate the technology for installation of wind turbines in relatively deep offshore waters.
Off the coast of Massachusetts, a second contract is for half the output from Cape Wind, a 468 MW project located on a relatively shallow shoal. These projects have established us as a lead utility supporting the development of renewable energy in the US
