If you're looking for information about the Boreas Offshore Wind Project, head here.
Vanguard Offshore Wind Farms are designed to have a collective capacity of 2.8 gigawatts (GW) and will be situated 47 to 80km off the Norfolk coast in East Anglia, a region recognised as one of the world’s largest and most promising areas for offshore wind development. These projects have already secured seabed rights, grid connections, Development Consent Orders and were awarded Contracts for Difference (CfD) in early 2026.
Vanguard East and West Offshore Wind Farms are owned by RWE Renewables Ltd.
These projects will play a pivotal role in establishing and preserving East Anglia's status as a leader in the UK's renewable energy sector, placing the region at the forefront of our country's shift towards a more sustainable, low-carbon economy. Vanguard East and West have the potential to create over a hundred new, long term operational jobs locally as well as supporting thousands more during construction. In addition, the projects will continue to support local and regional skills development programmes.
As construction of these projects progress, this website will serve as the go-to place for updates and detailed information about the construction process. We encourage you to add this website to your favourites and subscribe to our email newsletters for regular updates.
