  • Aker Solutions delivers record-breaking offshore HVDC station for East Anglia THREE

    The 10,700-tonne, seven-storey HVDC topside—heavier than the Eiffel Tower and taller than the Statue of Liberty—was safely installed last week, 69 kilometers off the Suffolk coast of England. This achievement underscores Aker Solutions’ ability to execute complex, large-scale energy projects and deliver innovative solutions for the renewable sector. 

    Engineering excellence and global collaboration 

    The HVDC station will convert electricity from the windfarm’s 95 turbines, turning high voltage alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), enabling efficient transmission over long distances.  

    Efficient transport of wind power to shore is a key enabler in the energy transition. Aker Solutions delivered early-phase engineering, procurement, fabrication and commissioning of the HVDC converter station. 

    The East Anglia THREE windfarm is expected to be among the world’s largest when it becomes operational at the end of 2026, providing a capacity of 1.4 GW of clean energy – sufficient to power more than one million UK homes.
