On 7 November 2017, Galloper Offshore Wind Farm announced that, working with Siemens Gamesa, it had uprated its 56 Siemens SWT-6.0-154 turbines using the Power Boost feature, increasing the rating of each unit from 6.0 MW to 6.3 MW. This upgrade raised the project’s overall installed capacity from the originally planned 336 MW to 353 MW, enabling the wind farm off the Suffolk coast to supply power to more than 380,000 homes per year, around 40,000 more than before the upgrade.
