Indicative project timeline

We submitted our DCO application to the Secretary of State on 31 May 2024, it was accepted for examination on 28 June 2024 and development consent was granted on 1 December 2025.

The six-month examination period included a preliminary meeting, multiple issue specific hearings and a total of eight examination deadlines. These sessions covered a wide range of issues and involved helpful discussions between us, the Examining Authority and our stakeholders. The public, statutory consultees and interested parties were given the opportunity to give evidence to the Examining Authority.

The application was granted development consent by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero on 1 December 2025.

We anticipate commencing construction in 2027 at the earliest and expect the Morecambe Offshore Windfarm generation assets to be operational by 2030.
