Metadata: 2012 - 2013, RHDHV, Thanet, Annual Monitoring Report
Abstract:
The Thanet Offshore Wind Farm is located in the Thames Estuary, 11.3km from Foreness Point in Kent. The export cables come ashore at Pegwell Bay and run for 2.2km to the existing substation site at Richborough where connection to the National Grid distribution network is made. The wind farm consists of 100 turbines which have a maximum output of 300MW. Construction of the Thanet Offshore Wind Farm commenced in March 2009 and was completed at the end of December 2011. The wind farm became fully operational in December 2012. Environmental monitoring surveys have been carried out in and around the Thanet Offshore Wind Farm site during the pre, during and post-construction stages of the development. This has been a requirement of the licences issued under the Marine and Coastal Access Act (Marine Licence); formally the Food and Environmental Protection Act (FEPA) licence. This document represents a summary of the post-construction monitoring that has been undertaken since the wind farm became operational.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The post-construction monitoring schedule varied for each of the studies but for the longest running (ornithology) was for a period of three years following the end of construction and, therefore, finished in March 2013. The monopile colonisation survey was postponed to 2014 due to the lack of suitable weather and tidal conditions in 2012/3. The majority of the remaining surveys were completed for the first year of post construction monitoring, at the end of 2012. In all cases, the scope of each of the monitoring studies was agreed with the relevant regulatory bodies and their advisors (principally Cefas and Natural England) prior to any monitoring being undertaken. This report is a summary of the technical reports produced for Thanet Offshore Wind farm prepared in support of the requirement of FEPA Condition 9.3 to provide the reporting aspect of the monitoring programme. The technical reports can be found at the end of this report in Appendices 4A – 10A. |
