A FUTURE OF CLEAN, GREEN ENERGY

Five Estuaries Offshore Wind Farm is the proposed extension to the operational £1.5 billion, 353-megawatt Galloper Offshore Wind Farm.

The development of Five Estuaries is part of RWE’s strategy to become carbon neutral by 2040. As one of the world’s leading players in offshore wind, RWE supports the UK Government in achieving its goal of having every single home powered by offshore wind within the next 10 years.
