Welcome to Morecambe Offshore Windfarm Generation Assets

The examination period for the Morecambe Offshore Windfarm Generation Assets Development Consent Order (DCO) application, concluded on Wednesday 23 April.

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.

Now that the examination has finished, the Examining Authority will have three months to compile a report and make a recommendation to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State will then have a further three months to reach a final decision on whether the application should be granted development consent. We anticipate a final decision being made on the Morecambe Offshore Windfarm Generation Assets application in October 2025.
