Welcome to the Galloper Wind Farm consultation website.
We have designed this site as a resource for local people, groups and organisations interested in the Galloper Wind Farm proposal. Our site contains information on how you can have input into our proposals, the latest project news, links to other sites and key contact information.
The proposed project is an up to 504 megawatt (MW) extension to the Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm which is currently being constructed. Located 27 kilometres (km) off the Suffolk coast Galloper Wind Farm has the potential to supply around 500,000 homes* with renewable energy.
You can browse the pages on our site for further information on our plans.
*based on site specific data indicating a load factor of approximately 40% and using the average annual UK household consumption of 3.3MWhrs.

Proposed extension of up to 504 megawatts (MW) to the Greater Gabbard offshore
wind farm, located off the Suffolk coast.
