6 FAQs about [Wind power project connected to the grid]

How have we connected the world's largest offshore wind farm?

We’ve connected the world’s largest offshore wind farm to our electricity transmission network following work to extend our Creyke Beck 400kV substation in Yorkshire.

How does offshore wind power work?

Generating wind power offshore is only half the story―clean electricity needs to be carried onshore and connected to the National Grid, before it reaches millions of homes across the UK. When offshore turbines generate power, electricity is carried through underwater cables via an offshore substation towards the shore.

Can a wind farm & solar site bring more green energy online?

But now energy companies are warning that significant delays to connect their green energy projects to the system will threaten their ability to bring more green power online. A new wind farm or solar site can only start supplying energy to people's homes once it has been plugged into the grid.

How can we maximise on excess wind energy?

There are a number of ways that we can maximise on excess wind energy: In order for homes and businesses to use cleaner, greener energy, more renewables – such as wind power and solar power – will need to be connected to the electricity grid.

How will the National Grid electricity transmission work in 2023?

For large wind power projects, you’ll probably be going through the National Grid Electricity Transmission. As of March 2023, a two-step process will be introduced in England and Wales for Grid connection applications. After this, construction will start. In Scotland, the changes will be applied using the current process that’s already in place.

How much electricity will the UK get from offshore wind?

By 2030, the UK will get about a third of its electricity from offshore wind. Why is energy infrastructure needed? Generating wind power offshore is only half the story―clean electricity needs to be carried onshore and connected to the National Grid, before it reaches millions of homes across the UK.
