Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm

Monday 1 March 2010

The Don Quixote is currently working for Siemens on this project.

Lynn and Inner Dowsing are the two adjacent offshore wind farms located 5km off the Lincolnshire coast, east of Skegness, UK. The Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farms were set up as a part of the UKCS Round 1 developments to encourage wind power in the UK.


These are two neighbouring developments that were acquired from Renewable Energy Systems in December 2003 and combined into one construction project by Centrica Renewable Energy Limited. The wind farms will be operated by Centrica itself.

The two wind farms together use 54 3.6MW Siemens turbines. They are being constructed at a cost of £300m. Together, the 54 turbines are expected to provide enough power for more than 130,000 homes while significantly reducing CO2 emissions.
Both wind farms are located off the UK's East Lincolnshire coast. Lynn is 5.2km offshore Skegness, and Inner Dowsing is 5.2km offshore Ingoldmells.
