The offshore wind farm, which began generating power this year, is located in the Solway Firth.
Robin Rigg has the potential to generate enough electricity to supply the annual needs of 117,000 homes and to displace the emission of 235,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, according to the company.
The scheme will be E.ON’s third offshore wind farm in the UK after Blyth, the country’s first offshore wind farm and Scroby Sands.
UK secretary of state for Energy and Climate Change Chris Huhne said that the completion of Robin Rigg brings the UK one step closer to meeting its renewable energy targets and the team should be very proud of that.
“Offshore wind is an important part of the UK’s future energy mix but also has the potential to bring a huge amount of investment to the country,” Huhne said.
“I hope and believe that the scale of the project at Robin Rigg points to the great things to come for the industry and Great Britain.”
