The Rampion offshore wind farm has been offline since 26 October following a fault in the project's High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) electrical transmission systems. This has rendered the project unable to transmit power ashore. Details on the fault have not been disclosed.

The 400MW Rampion offshore wind farm is located 13km off the Sussex coast and provides power for over 340,000 homes annually. It features 116 MHI Vestas V112-3.45MW turbines and is owned by E.ON, Enbridge and a consortium comprising of the Green Investment Group, Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 5 and the Universities Superannuation Scheme.

The project was officially put into operation in November 2018 after a three-year construction schedule involving a workforce of around 750 at peak times. An operations and maintenance base for Rampion is located in Newhaven Port’s East Quay within the Newhaven Enterprise Zone.
