RWE and KKR secure Contract for Difference for Norfolk Vanguard East

Norfolk Vanguard East is planned for the North Sea off the Norfolk coast (England) with 92 Vestas V236-15.0 MW turbines for an installed capacity of 1,545 MW; operator RWE acquired the project from Vattenfall in 2024 and has run it since 2026 as a joint venture with investor KKR. The project secured a Contract for Difference (Round 7) in 2026, with final investment decision expected summer 2026; Wikipedia's list gives an expected commissioning of 2028/29. Note: more recent RWE press releases (March 2026) cite 1,380 MW and a 2030 commissioning for the same project - the figures used here follow the Wikipedia list confirmed as the source.
