Following the investment, MHI-Vestas confirmed an order from E.on to supply 116 V112-3.45MW turbines to the project.
The Rampion project was originally planned to be 700MW, but was cut in size in November.
E.on development manager Chris Tomlinson said at the time the reduction in size was to "optimise the scheme in the best seabed conditions".

Last month, the bank secured £463 million of investment to support offshore projects.
