EDPR and ENGIE still committed to 800 MW Moray West wind project in Moray Firth
Moray West Offshore Wind Farm has today, 20th September, confirmed that the project remains viable, despite having not been awarded a Contract for Difference (CfD) as part of the UK Government’s latest CfD auction.
The offshore wind farm, which is led by a joint venture company combining EDPR and ENGIE, had placed competitive bids on a range of scenarios.
Moray West was one of what were understood to be eight offshore wind bidders in the auction, alongside other eligible technology projects. Against a cap of 6GW six awards have been offered to offshore wind project applicants.
Moray West gained consent licenses in Summer 2019. The project team recognises an opportunity for Moray West to be awarded a CfD in the next auction round in 2021 and would be on course for start of construction in 2024.
