Estimated homes powered
Estimation of UK homes powered by Morgan, Mona and Morven offshore wind farms
- Average annual household energy consumption (in MWh) over the last three years (2021-2023) of data published within Energy Consumption in the UK 2024 DESNZ – Table C9, DESNZ – 2024 – 3.552MWh
- Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) average load factor (%) for offshore wind over the last three years (2021-2023) published within the Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics, Table 6.3, DESNZ, 30 July 2024) – 40.1%
- Wind farm installed capacity (in MW) multiplied by the number of hours in one year – number of hours in year 8,760
Morgan offshore wind farm
1,500 (installed capacity) x 40.1% (average load factor over last three years) x 8,760 (hours per year) / 3.552 (average annual household energy consumption over last three years) = The Morgan offshore wind farm has the potential to provide enough electricity for around 1,483,439 (appx. 1.5 million home each) UK homes.
Mona offshore wind farm
1,500 (installed capacity) x 40.1% (average load factor over last three years) x 8,760 (hours per year) / 3.552 (average annual household energy consumption over last three years) = The Mona offshore wind farm has the potential to provide enough electricity for around 1,483,439 (appx. 1.5 million home each) UK homes.
Morven offshore wind farm
For the Morven grid connection one (GC1) offshore wind farm: 1,500 (installed capacity) x 40.1% (average load factor over last three years) x 8,760 (hours per year) / 3.552 (average annual household energy consumption over last three years) = The Morven GC1 offshore wind farm has the potential to provide enough electricity for around 1,483,439 (appx. 1.5 million home each) UK homes.
For the Morven grid connection two (GC2) offshore wind farm: 1,500 (installed capacity) x 40.1% (average load factor over last three years) x 8,760 (hours per year) / 3.552 (average annual household energy consumption over last three years) = The Morven GC2 offshore wind farm has the potential to provide enough electricity for around 1,483,439 (appx. 1.5 million home each) UK homes.
Morgan, Mona and Morven offshore wind farms
For the Morgan, Mona and Morven offshore wind farms: 6,000 (installed capacity) x 40.1% (average load factor over last three years) x 8,760 (hours per year) / 3.552 (average annual household energy consumption over last three years) = The Morgan, Mona and Morven offshore wind farms have the potential to provide enough electricity for around 5,933,767 (appx. 6 million home in total) UK homes.
