The Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm is a major infrastructure project of national importance. With a generating capacity of 2.9 GW – Hornsea 3 will produce enough green energy to power more than 3 million UK homes. 

We know that as with any large-scale infrastructure project, people are curious about Hornsea 3 and have questions about it. 

We’re here to help.

  • What’s going on in Oulton and Swardeston?

    We’ve begun to build the onshore part of Hornsea 3.  We are currently laying the cables that will bring the energy generated offshore by Hornsea 3 and connect it to our onshore electricity substation in Swardeston, near Norwich, Norfolk.  

    From there, the energy will be connected to the National Grid so it can be distributed to millions of homes across the UK. So far, we’ve laid about 6 km of cable out of a total of 51 km, so we’re still in the early stages. 

    We’ve also been doing some work on our onshore substation including landscaping. And we’re preparing the land for the battery energy storage system.

  • Why do such large lorries have to go along such small roads?

    As this is such a large national infrastructure project, traffic and deliveries to and from the sites are unavoidable. But we’ve been working closely with local authorities and residents to give advance notice of works taking place to help minimise disruption.

  • Why are you digging up the countryside?

    We’re laying the cabling that will bring energy onshore from our offshore wind farm once it’s built. That requires 51 km of cables to be buried underground onshore. We have agreements in place with landowners on how and where we work. Once cables have been laid, we’ll make good all construction sites and carefully restore the land to how it was before.

  • How will local residents benefit from this project?

    Norfolk is becoming a key hub for green energy, which will bring long-term investment and jobs to the region. We’ve also just launched our Hornsea 3  Community Benefit Fund which commits £7 million (£700,000 every year for the next ten years) to projects developed by, and for the benefit of, the local community in the North Norfolk and East Anglia region. We are committed to making a positive impact in the communities where we construct and operate our offshore wind farms.
