RWE starts consultation period for 400 MW Rampion offshore wind project off the coast of Sussex

RWE, the major developer of Rampion 2 project, has opened a formal public consultation on draft proposals for the extension of the existing Rampion offshore wind farm in the UK.

The consultation period is running from 14 July until 16 September, during which people can find out more about the project by exploring the current proposals with maps and videos, sign up to attend an online public forum with the project team, and give their feedback on the project plans.

Formal public consultation on detailed proposals is now being held before further refinements of final proposals are made, which will form the basis of the application for a development consent order (DCO), planned to be submitted later this year.

If consent is awarded, construction would begin 2025/26 at the earliest with a view to having a completed, operational project before the end of the decade.
