Onshore survey works underway for Triton

Lincolnshire Ecologists, Scarborough Nixon Associates, is conducting a series of ecological walkover surveys along the project onshore cable corridor for the Triton Knoll offshore wind farm.

Over the next two to three weeks, working on behalf of Triton Knoll’s onshore cable installer J Murphy & Sons, two survey teams will be visible at various sites as they carry out the non-intrusive surveys, in order to help optimise ecological mitigation. The surveyors will be accompanied by engineers from J Murphy & Sons, and are part of a comprehensive pre-construction programme of site surveys.

With an anticipated capacity of around 860MW, Triton Knoll will be located approximately 50km off the Lincolnshire coast. The project was awarded a Contract for Difference (CfD) with a strike price of £74.75/MWh (approx.€83.45/MWh) for 15 years.

The project is now progressing towards a financial investment decision in 2018 with full onshore construction starting shortly after. Offshore construction is scheduled to start in 2020. First energy generation could be as early as mid-Q1 2021, with the project expecting to be commissioned in 2021.

According to project developer innogy, the wind farm has the potential to power up to 800,000 UK homes once fully operational.
