Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm earlier this month celebrated its 10-year anniversary of generating electricity. All 140 turbines of the joint venture between SSE Renewables (50%) and RWE Renewables (50%) have been operational since September 2012 and in the last 10 years, they have generated enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of over 400,000 UK homes each year, SSE said. Located in the North Sea, around 20km off the coast of Suffolk, the 504MW Greater Gabbard has produced over 17,487GWh since it was brought online in September 2012. SSE Renewables is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the wind farm, based out of the dedicated Greater Gabbard Operations and Maintenance base at Lowestoft in Suffolk. According to the company, a total of around 100 jobs have been created to support the wind farm's operation, with 95% of those recruited from the local area, and this was in addition to the hundreds of jobs created during construction.
