FRANKFURT/DUESSELDORF, Oct 30 (Reuters) - German utility RWE RWEG.DE has found three partners to finance the 1.5 billion pound ($2.3 billion) Galloper wind park to be built off the British coast, it said on Friday.
RWE said Britain's Green Investment Bank, German engineering group Siemens SIEGn.DE and Australian bank Macquarie MQG.AX would join the 336 megawatt project, with each of the partners holding a 25 percent stake.
Construction of the wind farm, which will be located about 27 kilometres (17 miles) off the coast of Suffolk in eastern England and produce power for up to 336,000 homes, will begin in November, with operation expected to start in March 2018. ($1 = 0.6519 pounds)
