Scroby Sands

Scroby Sands is a sandbank off the coast of Norfolk, England which runs near shore, north to south from Caister south towards Great Yarmouth.

[2] Scroby Sands Wind Farm, an offshore 60 MW wind farm, is situated on the sandbank and opened in 2003.

Scroby Sands is 4 miles (6.4 km) from the coast and separated by channels from the adjacent Caister shoals, Cockle Shoals, Cross Sands, Corton and Holm Sands.

The farm was commissioned by Powergen Renewables Offshore, a division of one of the UK's major electricity producing companies (now called E.ON UK), and is expected to produce up to a maximum of 60 megawatts of power, enough for 41,000 homes.
