Welcome to Morgan Offshore Wind Project
The Morgan Offshore Wind Project is a proposed offshore windfarm located in the Irish Sea. The project is a joint venture between two leading energy companies, bp and Energie Baden-Württemberg AG (EnBW).
The Morgan Generation project includes the following offshore elements to generate electricity from the wind:
- Wind turbine generators (up to 96 turbines)
- Four offshore substation platforms (OSPs)
- Offshore interconnector cables connecting the wind turbine generators
- Offshore inter-array cables connecting the OSPs
The Morgan Offshore Wind Project is classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). This means that a Development Consent Order (DCO) application has been submitted to the Secretary of State.
The Examination closed on 10 March 2025.
The Examining Authority, appointed by the Planning Inspectorate, has written its report and made a recommendation to the Secretary of State on whether to grant development consent for our project. The Secretary of State has three months in which to make a decision.

About EnBW
With over 28,000 employees, EnBW is one of the largest energy companies in Germany and Europe. It supplies around 5.5 million customers with electricity and gas. As part of its transformation from a traditional energy company to a sustainable infrastructure group, the expansion of renewable energy sources and of the distribution and transmission grids for electricity, gas and hydrogen are cornerstones of EnBW's growth strategy and the focus of its investments.
Until 2030, EnBW plans gross investments of €40 billion. By then, around 80 percent of EnBW's generation portfolio is to consist of renewable energies, and the company aims to phase out coal by the end of 2028. These are key milestones on the road to the company's climate neutrality in 2035. EnBW has been planning, building and operating offshore wind farms in Germany and Europe for over 15 years.
We invested early, built up expertise and secured a competitive position in the European offshore market as an integrated energy company. We currently operate four offshore wind farms with around one gigawatt and constructing He Dreiht, Germany's largest and subsidy-free offshore wind farm, which will double our offshore portfolio. www.enbw.com
