Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farm will be located 19km off the Cumbrian coast and will have maximum capacity of 660MW.

DONG energy has already started construction work of the onshore project of Burbo Bank Extension, which will have a power generation capacity of 258MW.

DS Agile is the next generation digital control system for smart substations, which will allow its customers to protect, monitor and control the assets in the farm.
