Such projects will further the development of a world-class offshore wind market in the UK, currently capable of powering roughly 41% of homes and is the greatest source of renewable electricity in the UK.
Following the signage of these leasing agreements, developers will be able to go ahead with planning sustainable projects. Of which, will significantly contribute towards the Government’s 2030 objective to generate 50GW in offshore wind.
Out of these six projects, three are located off the coast of North Wales, Cumbria and Lancashire. The remaining three are in the North Sea off the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire coast (see below).
The UK’s offshore wind achievements to date are nothing short of remarkable, and this next generation of projects point to an even more exciting and dynamic future.
