Boston, Lincolnshire

Project outline

Triton Knoll is an offshore windfarm located off the East Lincolnshire coast. The wind farm comprises 90 turbines and is positioned approx. 50km off the landfall location near Anderby Creek. Once finished, it will be capable of generating up to 857MW, which is enough to power over 800,000 UK homes.

Murphy installed the cables that make up the onshore cable route. This is a 57km twin 220kV circuit that makes landfall near Anderby Creek and ends at the new substation south of Boston, adjacent to National Grid Bicker Fen. The cable route is situated in prime agricultural land in Lincolnshire, with a number of significant infrastructure and landmark crossings throughout the route. The cable route consists of multiple, jointed cable sections and over 140 separate directional drill crossings.
