Scroby Sands Offshore Wind Farm (pictured above) is located 1.5 miles off the coast of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England. It was the first major offshore wind farm to receive Government approval and was finally commissioned in December 2004. It is a Powergen project.

Scroby Sands was chosen for its proximity to major ports - an important consideration for transporting the enormous parts of the wind turbines, its high mean wind speeds (7.5 to 9m/s) combined with low wave forces, and because of the suitability of the shallow waters and seabed for building foundations. It is made up of a total of 30 two-megawatt wind turbines of the type (Vestas V80) also used in constructing the North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm off the coast of North Wales (commissioned in December 2003).
