THE CROWN ESTATE – OFFSHORE WIND LEASING ROUND 4 ANNOUNCEMENT

Message from the Crown Estate

Dear all,

We are pleased to share an update on Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4.

In a major vote of confidence in the UK’s green economy and net zero ambitions, The Crown Estate has today, 8 February 2021, announced 6 proposed new offshore wind projects in the waters around England and Wales.

 The projects have been selected through a competitive seabed tender process and will now progress to the next stage of the process, the plan-level Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA).

 Further details of the proposed Round 4 projects and bidders, and a map of the project locations across England and Wales, can be found at www.thecrownestate.co.uk/round4

Should you wish to discuss any of the information outlined above or any of the proposed project sites in more detail please feel free to contact myself or any of the team and we would be happy to arrange a follow up meeting.

Kind regards,

Rosie
