The owners of the 400MW Rampion offshore wind farm off the south coast of England have confirmed the sale of the project’s transmission assets to Transmission Capital Partners (TCP).
The assets include the offshore substation, onshore substation at Twineham and both on- and offshore export cables.
The divestment is mandatory under UK legislation and takes place in accordance with the Offshore Transmission Owner (OFTO) regime.
In 2019, following a competitive tender, Ofgem selected TCP as preferred bidder for the transmission license for Rampion.
TCP is a consortium that includes International Public Partnerships, Amber Infrastructure Group and Transmission Investment.
Rampion was commissioned in 2018 and is owned by RWE (50.1%) Macquarie (25%), Enbridge Rampion UK Ltd, a subsidiary Enbridge (24.9%).
RWE Renewables operates the wind farm on behalf of the project partners.
