Teesside Wind Farm

Teesside Wind Farm, or alternatively referred to as Redcar Wind Farm, is a 27 turbine 62 MW capacity offshore wind farm constructed just to the east of the mouth of the River Tees and 1.5 km north of Redcar off the North Yorkshire coast, in the North Sea, England.

The wind farm was developed by EDF Energy (Northern Offshore Wind) Ltd., and is operated by Teesside Windfarm Ltd.; the owner (100%) is EDF Energy Renewables.

The wind farm site was located 1.5 km offshore of Coatham Sands, Redcar in Cleveland, UK on a 10 km2 (3.9 sq mi) site; initial plans were to install 3 rows of 10 turbines of rating 2.3–3.6 MW, with electrical power supplied to shore with landfall at South Gare / Coatham Sands with a land substation and control room at Warrenby; connection to the existing electrical grid was to be made to Northern Electric Distribution (NEDL)'s (see Northern Electric) electricity network at Lackenby[4] The windfarm was planned to operate at windspeeds between 3.5 to 14 m/s (11 to 46 ft/s) (start to full power), with automatic cut off at wind speeds over 25 m/s (82 ft/s).

[6] Turbine foundations were to be up to 5.5m diameter monopiles either drilled and/or piled up to a depth of 35m.

[13] At the end of the 22-year Crown Estate lease, the wind farm is expected to be decommissioned by the developer.
