The installation of the first turbine at RWE’s 1.4GW Sofia wind farm in east England was completed on March 22, marking a significant milestone in the UK's renewable energy landscape. The Sofia wind farm, one of RWE Offshore Wind’s flagship projects in the UK, aims to harness offshore wind energy to contribute to the nation’s climate goals. This project is part of a broader initiative to increase energy production and reduce carbon emissions, aligning with the UK’s commitment to net-zero targets by 2050.

RWE Offshore Wind’s chief officer, Thomas Michel, emphasized the importance of the Sofia wind farm, stating that it will play a crucial role in helping the UK meet its 2030 climate goals. The first power from the Sofia wind farm is expected this year, with full commissioning anticipated for 2026. This achievement underscores RWE’s dedication to advancing offshore wind energy and supporting the UK’s transition to a low-carbon energy system.
