Iberdrola, through its renewable subsidiary in the United Kingdom, ScottishPower Renewables, has chosen the port of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England, for the pre-assembly works of its 960 MW East Anglia Two offshore wind farm. The British subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group and the port authority Peel Ports Great Yarmouth have signed an agreement to reserve the site and carry out this assignment. Components for the 64 turbines, including 192 blades manufactured at Siemens Gamesa's Hull plant, will arrive here from different regions of the UK and continental Europe before they are set up in the North Sea in 2028.

The choice of Great Yarmouth for pre-assembly work demonstrates ScottishPower Renewables' commitment to the UK and the East Anglia region, further consolidating the region's reputation as a leading centre of the offshore renewables industry. The company already operates the 714 MW East Anglia One offshore farm in the region’s waters, whose 102 turbines produce enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 630,000 British homes.

The East Anglia area has also become the heart of the company's offshore wind operations. The East Anglia Hub offshore wind macro-complex is being built here, bringing together three projects with a total installed capacity of 2,900 MW: East Anglia One North, East Anglia Two and East Anglia Three. The projects, which will involve an investment of 10 B pounds, began in 2022 and will last for four years. The capacity of this hub will be able to supply 2.7 million British households with clean energy.
