MHI Vestas to Supply Turbines for Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm

MHI Vestas will supply 90 of its 9.5 megawatt (MW) turbines for the Triton Knoll windfarm off the coast of Britain, project developer Innogy said on Friday.

Triton Knoll is 59 percent owned by Germany's Innogy, 25 percent owned by Japan's J-Power and 16 percent by Japan's Kansai Electric Power.

Once built it is expected to have a capacity of around 860 MW, enough to power around 800,000 homes.
