The project, called the Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm, is the world's largest (500-megawatt) wind farm off the Suffolk Coast. It will be a 50/50 joint venture.
The construction is due to start in summer 2009. The wind farm is expected to be completed in 2011.
The companies have signed a third part, Siemens AG, to supply 140 wind turbines for the project. The deal is worth of 800 million euro (637 million pound).
