Construction of the first turbine was completed in January 2021, and with the installation of substations at each end of an undersea cable, first power was announced on 1 March 2021.

[5] The formal developer was Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd, a 100% subsidiary of RWE Npower Renewables -they applied for a wind farm of 135 square kilometres (52 sq mi) in size off the North Norfolk and Lincolnshire coast in the southern North Sea; the development area was cut in two by a NE/SW running pipeline channel of 500 metres (1,600 ft) width.

Additionally pile driving was not permitted during the Herring spawning season (September to mid October), without prior permission.

[15] A landfall at or near Anderby Creek was identified as likely,[16] An intermediate electric compound (IEC) use to regulate the reactive power of the AC cables, and a preferred site was selected to the west of Skegness Stadium.

[17][note 2] A final substation site at or near Double Twelves Drove northwest of the Bicker Fen connection, and adjacent east of the South Forty Drain was shortlisted as the preferred option.

[20] The proposed onshore cable route consisted of around 63 kilometres (39 mi) of underground cable - a number of interested parties raised concerns about the cable route and windfarm: farmers and the NFU raised concerns about its effects on drainage;[21] and Lincoln City Council claimed the development would have a negative effect on tourism;[22] Lincolnshire County Council raised concerns about the combined environmental impact of the onshore link together with the 1.4 GW Viking Link electrical connector to Denmark.
