With the extensive experience Wind Prospect have gained onshore, we have turned offshore and set up SeaScape Energy Ltd. SeaScape Energy was established with enXco A/S, owned by SIIF Energies.

SeaScape Energy's first offshore project is the Burbo Offshore Wind Farm, to be located in Liverpool Bay 6km from the coastline of Wirral, Crosby and Liverpool.

Burbo Offshore will consist of 30 turbines, each capable of producing 3MW of electricity. This means Burbo Offshore can generate up to 90MW of clean, renewable energy for the next 25 years. That's enough electricity for over 75,000 homes or 12% of all the houses in Merseyside.

As well as providing electricity, Burbo Offshore will help tackle the problem of global warming. The wind farm will reduce the emission of carbon dioxide by as much as 250,000 tonnes per year. Burbo Offshore also reduces nitrous oxide emissions, one of the key components of acid rain, by 950 tonnes per year.

Burbo Offshore received all necessary consents on the 14th July 2003, following a successful application to the Government back in October 2002. Construction is expected to start in 2005, with the wind farm generating electricity at the end of the same year.
