The substation for the 714MW East Anglia 1 offshore wind farm off the east coast of England has set sail from Puerto Real in Cadiz, Spain, for the UK.
Iberdrola said the Navantia-made structure is being towed on a barge by the AMT Commander vessel.
The journey will take about seven days, depending on the weather, the company said.
Installation at the project site will take place at the end of August or beginning of September, it added.
Iberdrola’s UK subsidiary ScottishPower Renewables is developing EA1, which will feature 102 Siemens Gamesa 7MW turbines.
The project is due online in 2020.
