Construction
at
Walney
1
was
finished
in
May,
when
the
last
of
51
Siemens
2.3MW
turbines
exported
its
first
power
to
the
onshore
grid.
Since
then,
the
project’s
developers
–
Dong
and
Scottish
and
Southern
Energy
(SSE)
–
have
been
conducting
commissioning
tests
and
“minor
corrections”.
All
such
work
has
been
completed,
according
to
SSE,
with
all
turbines
flowing
electricity
under
water
for
14km
to
the
Cumbrian
coast.
Walney
2,
which
is
identical
in
size,
scope
and
components,
is
on
track
for
commissioning
in
2012,
says
SSE
chief
operating
officer
Colin
Hood.
