ScottishPower Renewables’ East Anglia TWO offshore wind project, part of energy giant Iberdrola, will take a major step towards the energy transition thanks to the collaboration with Hitachi Energy, a global leader in energy solutions. This innovative agreement will allow 960 MW of wind energy to be integrated into the UK electricity grid , with the capacity to supply clean energy to almost one million homes.
Connecting wind energy on a large scale
The East Anglia TWO offshore wind farm , located 32km off the coast of Suffolk, is a key part of ScottishPower Renewables’ plan to expand offshore wind power generation capacity in the UK . Within this framework, Hitachi Energy will provide advanced onshore and offshore grid connection solutions using its EconiQ technology to ensure reliable and flexible power, despite the inherent intermittency of wind power.
Innovation and collaboration for sustainability
The East Anglia TWO project is one of the most ambitious renewable energy projects in the region and forms part of wider efforts to achieve the UK’s 2030 climate goals . Through co-creation between Hitachi Energy and ScottishPower Renewables, new energy quality standards and innovative solutions for integrating wind energy into the national grid will be developed.
Hitachi Energy , with its experience in integrating more than 150 GW of HVDC (high voltage direct current) systems worldwide, plays a crucial role in enabling the decarbonisation of the European energy system and, in the long term, in the goal of making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
