The project consists of the already consented Gunfleet Sands 1 project, which has consent to construct up to 30 turbines, each of a maximum capacity of 3.6MW, thus yielding a total capacity of 108MW, and a proposed extension. The total area of the phase 1 develop-ment is 10 km2 and 7.5 km2 for phase 2.

The proposed extension, Gunfleet Sands 2, was awarded a lease option agreement by Crown Estate in December 2003 and includes up to 22 turbines with a maximum total capacity of 64MW.

General information on the project is available on the Dong Energy site (www.dongenergy.com/gunfleetsands) although up to date news is a bit lacking.

Another very useful and informative website can be found here.  As well as providing information on the Gunfleet Sands, it also provides details of all other wind farms.
