DESNZ DUKES 5.11, '5.11 Full list', row 1039, explicitly lists Sheringham Shoal BMU 1 as operational at end May 2026 with 158 MW installed. This exact BMU label avoids dividing the site total. The operator reports 317 MW across 88 x 3.6 MW turbines; the 158 MW government figures are reported at whole-MW BMU precision. The 158.4 MW registry reference remains separate.

Operator capacity source

Whole-site registered total: 316.8 MW, including retired units.

Registered capacity is the value retained in the committed BM-unit source snapshot. “Not retained” means the registry no longer supplied a positive figure; it does not mean the unit historically had no capacity. If a unit with a retirement event publishes a non-zero live declaration, the live declaration keeps it in the operating fleet pending review.
