About Vanguard West and Vanguard East
Vanguard West and Vanguard East are two offshore wind farms 50 to 80 km off the Norfolk coast, together about 2.8 GW, enough for around three million homes. RWE is building them with KKR, and in November 2026 they got the go-ahead with £12bn of funding, including £1bn from the National Wealth Fund.
On land, their cables come ashore just south of Happisburgh and run underground for about 60 km, passing north of North Walsham, Aylsham and Reepham, to a new substation beside the National Grid substation at Necton, near Dereham. Work on the cable route and the substation started in 2023.
Offshore construction starts early in 2027, and the wind farms are due to send power by 2030. The government says they will support more than 2,400 jobs while they're built and run.

Norwich sits in the middle with the most places, and Great Yarmouth is Norfolk's main port for offshore wind work.

Can our whole crew stay in one house?

Can we book for weeks or months at a time?
Yes. Stays run from one night to several months, and many hosts take money off stays of a week or a month.
Is there parking for vans?
Each listing shows its parking, so you can check before you book. If you need room for several vans, message the host through Nezt to ask.
