Project key messages

  • The Crown Estate offered an Agreement for Lease (AfL) for extension of

Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm in October 2019. One of seven UK extension sites.

  • ‘Sister’ project to Gwynt y Môr – called Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm

(“breeze of the sea”). Great opportunity to help Wales’ net zero targets.

  • Innogy is proud to be leading the development on behalf of its partners
  • The project is in its very early stages. Exact size and capacity still to be
  • determined. Initial consenting work is just beginning with early stakeholder

and community engagement programme to help determine the project details – a process due to take up to three years.

  • The project is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) and

therefore requires a Development Consent Order (DCO). Being in Welsh waters, it will also require a separate Marine Licence.
