The company announced over a month ago that Siemens was the preferred turbine supplier for the project, which will see up to 102 turbines with a capacity of seven megawatts (MW) installed.
The project, located off the Norfolk and Suffolk coast, will be able to power approximately 500,000 homes.

ScottishPower Renewables aims to begin development in 2017, with the first turbines installed by 2019 and the project fully operational during 2020.
Up to 3,000 jobs will be created, with the blades for the turbines to be manufactured at Siemens' new £300 million factory in Hull.
East Anglia ONE project director Charlie Jordan spoke to an audience of over 300, which included local businesses and stakeholders, at an East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) event in Norwich on 16 July.
He said: "With East Anglia ONE and potential future projects in the wider East Anglia Zone, offshore wind power is set to play a major role in the economies of Norfolk and Suffolk for decades to come."
