DP Energy to build 300 MW Floating offshore wind farm in UK
DP Energy tables plan to deliver a 300 MW floating wind farm in the Celtic Sea. The project is named ‘Gwynt Glas’ and is located between the West Wales and South West of England coastline. It will generate enough renewable energy to supply up to 300,000 homes.
DP Energy has been laying the foundations for this project and its broader Celtic Sea aspirations for several years and welcomed the announcement from The Crown Estate in March 2021 that it was commencing work to design and deliver a new leasing opportunity for early commercial-scale floating wind projects in this seabed area.
Site research and detailed studies have been underway for some time resulting in the identification of an area of interest encompassing some 1,500 km2. This site is being investigated by remote aerial surveys for marine mammal and bird activity. DP Energy has started engagement with key stakeholders and is commencing wide consultation with all interested parties. Consultations will include the offshore area which is approximately 70km from the shore.
