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, JERA Nex 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.
