Dutch company Van Oord will provide the balance of plant, including foundations and sub-sea cabling.

EDF started work on the 27-turbine offshore wind farm in November 2010, which is expected to start power production towards the end of 2012.

EDF Energy Renewables CEO, Christian Egal, says: “We are extremely happy to have closed the Wind Turbine and Balance of Plant contracts with two very experienced companies in the offshore wind industry. The Wilton based team led by Tim Bland are looking forward to delivering the construction phase of this project alongside Siemens and Van Oord.”
