EnBW and BP have commenced a first round of consultation on the Mona offshore wind farm for eight weeks from 7 June to 3 August 2022.
The partners are progressing plans for the Morgan offshore wind farm and will be holding a consultation later in 2022.
The two offshore wind farms in the Irish Sea will be located approximately 20-30 km from the coast and will be operational by 2029.
Together, they will form one of the largest wind farms in the world, with a combined potential generating capacity of 3GW.
The purpose of the consultation is to share early plans for the project, while providing people with the opportunity to have their say on the proposals.
Planning for the project is at a very early stage and many details are still to be finalised, such as the size and number of turbines, offshore and onshore infrastructure and the cable landfall locations.
The project team will consider all comments received, alongside further technical and environmental surveying work.
The feedback will help influence the detailed design of the project and help develop the best possible proposals EnBW and BP stated.
