Redline runs the same record on your own boundary: the authority’s actual approval rate and decision times, every designation inside the red line, agricultural grade, 1 m LIDAR earthworks, how contested the grid is, and yield with a P90 — before you spend on a consultant.

What this site sits on
- Special Area of Conservation — Southern North Sea
REPD gives one representative coordinate per scheme, not the site boundary, so this describes the point on record rather than the whole site — a large site can straddle a designation edge. Boundaries come from planning.data.gov.uk, which publishes for England only.
How big is The East Anglia Array - Norfolk Boreas?
The East Anglia Array - Norfolk Boreas has a recorded installed capacity of 1.40 GW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.
Who operates The East Anglia Array - Norfolk Boreas?
REPD records the operator as RWE Renewables UK Limited. Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.
When was The East Anglia Array - Norfolk Boreas approved and built?
The application was submitted on 11 June 2019. Permission was granted on 10 December 2021, 30 months later. The site is recorded as under construction and has no operational date yet.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation. Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 6483.
