We’ve launched a non-statutory consultation on our Morven Hawthorn Pit Grid Connection Project.

Morven Offshore Wind Farm Array Project

During Crown Estate Scotland’s ScotWind leasing round in 2022, EnBW and JERA Nex bp entered an option lease agreement for the Morven option lease agreement site (known as the Morven site), covering an area of approximately 858km². The site is within Scottish waters and would consist of turbines and supporting foundations, inter-array cabling and offshore substation platforms.

Since then, the site has been defined for further development, separating the Morven site into two projects:

The Morven North Offshore Wind Array Project (Morven North)
The Morven South Offshore Wind Array Project (Morven South)
