Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm

The Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm is a large-scale offshore wind energy project located in the North Sea, approximately 27 kilometres off the coast of North Norfolk, England. Developed and operated by Ørsted, the wind farm has an installed capacity of around 573 megawatts (MW), making it capable of generating enough renewable electricity to power more than 600,000 UK homes annually.

Commissioned in 2018, Race Bank consists of 91 wind turbines installed across a designated offshore area, connected to onshore infrastructure via subsea export cables. The project plays a significant role in the UK’s offshore wind fleet, contributing to national targets for renewable energy expansion and emissions reduction. It operates under long-term electricity market arrangements and has become an important asset in supporting corporate renewable energy procurement through power offtake agreements.
