Haizea Wind Group has manufactured the first monopile foundation for Iberdrola’s East Anglia Three offshore wind project at its facility in Bilbao, Spain.

Haizea Bilbao will deliver 50 monopiles for the 1.4 GW East Anglia Three offshore wind farm under a contract with ScottishPower Renewables, Iberdrola’s UK arm, signed in March 2023.

Under the contract, Haizea Bilbao will be responsible for the supply of materials, engineering of the manufacturing process, and manufacturing of the monopiles.

The Navantia-Windar consortium will produce 45 monopiles for the 95-turbine offshore wind farm under a separate contract. The foundations are planned to be installed by Seaway7.
