In 2004 the Crown Estate awarded Econventures (Utrecht, NL) the lease of the Round 2 wind farm site at Sheringham shoal.

[5] The seabed at the wind farm and offshore cable route consisted of mainly gravely sand, overlying chalk.

[6] The electrical power export cable was to be connected to a switching station near Muckleburgh Collection, via landfall near Weybourne Hope.

[8] The connection to the National Grid was planned to be made at an electrical substation near Salle, Norfolk via a 132kV 21.3 kilometres (13.2 mi) underground cable.

[21] The substation superstructure and foundations were subcontracted to Heerema (topside), Bladt Industries (transition pieces) and Sif Group and Smulders (piles).

Work was carried out by the ships Atlantic Guardian (route clearance), Team Oman (laying), and VOS Sympathy (trenching).

[31] The remaining pile foundations, and the transition pieces and offshore substation topsides where installed by Seaway Heavy Lifting between May and August 2011 using the newly built Oleg Strashnov.

[32][35] Inter-array cables were laid by Team Oman, and installed under the sea bed by water jetting by Toisa Warrior.

[43][44][45] An onshore operations base was constructed at Egmere, 3 miles south of Wells-next-the-Sea, with building work taking place in 2012.

[49] An official opening took place on September 27, 2012, attended by Norway's Crown Prince Haakon and UK Secretary of State Ed Davey.

[54] Statoil took over operation from Statkraft, beginning in 2017, while also increasing its share in the proposed Dogger Bank Wind Farm.
