Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) has announced that they’re running ahead of schedule on several of their offshore wind farm projects, including Greater Gabbard. SSE, the UK’s largest renewable energy generator, has a 50% share in the 500MW Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm which lies off the Suffolk coast. Offshore construction is well underway, with all 140 monopiles and foundations now installed, and the wind farm is on track for commissioning in 2012.

Wilding says: ‘It’s always good to know that projects we’ve worked on are progressing well, and we’re looking forward to seeing Greater Gabbard up and running in 2012.’
