Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm is an offshore wind farm under construction in 2009, to be completed in 2011. The nearest turbine will be a minimum distance of approximately 9 nautical miles (17 km) to the shore. The turbines will be supported by foundations secured to the sea bed. The Wind Farm will consist of 88 Siemens 3.6 MW wind turbines (model SWT-3.6-107), giving a total combined name plate capacity of 315 MW. The wind farm will have a total area of approximately 14 sq. miles (35 sq. km). The wind farm will generate about 1.1 TWh per year, providing enough power for approximately 238,000 average UK homes, over twice the equivalent electricity required to supply the whole of the North Norfolkcoast. The wind farm will avoid about 500,000 tonnes per year of carbon dioxide emissions compared to electricity generation from fossil fuels.
