Three floating offshore wind projects totalling 300MW, which have been identified through The Crown Estate’s test and demonstration leasing opportunity, have been given the green light to progress to the next stage of assessment.
The projects, each located in the Celtic Sea, have satisfied the initial application criteria set out by The Crown Estate, demonstrating technical competence, delivery capability and technological innovation.
The next stage will see the projects subject to plan-level Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) to assess possible impacts on protected marine habitats.
Subject to the outcome of this assessment, the applicants could then be granted seabed agreements for lease.
