Welcome to Morgan Offshore Wind Project
Morgan Offshore Wind Project Generation Assets is a joint venture between bp and Energie Baden Württemberg AG (EnBW) to develop a wind farm in the Irish Sea.
Morgan Offshore Wind Project will be located in the Irish Sea, approximately 36km from the north west coast of England and approximately 22km from the Isle of Man.
This project can play a role in the energy transition by delivering a significant volume of offshore wind in support of the UK Government’s Net Zero by 2050 target and commitment to deliver up to 50 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 2030.
Morgan Offshore Wind Project Generation Assets is classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). This means that a Development Consent Order (DCO) is needed from the Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
We’re now holding a statutory consultation on our latest proposals which will run from 19 April to 4 June 2023. Local people, including residents, local elected representatives and other stakeholders, have a really important role to play throughout this consultation. We need your views and knowledge as we work to finalise our proposals in preparation for submitting our Development Consent Order application.

Consultation hubAbout us
This project is being brought forward as a joint venture between bp and Energie Baden- Württemberg AG (EnBW).
About bp
bp’s purpose is to reimagine energy for people and our planet. bp has set out an ambition to be a net zero company by 2050, or sooner, and help the world get to net zero. This strategy will see bp transform from an international oil company producing resources - to an integrated energy company providing solutions to customers. bp already has a significant onshore wind business in the US with a gross generating capacity of 1.7GW, operating nine wind assets across the country as well as a 5.2GW net offshore pipeline.
About EnBW
Energie Baden-Württemberg AG (EnBW) is one of the largest energy supply companies in Germany and Europe, with a workforce of 27,000 employees supplying energy to around 5.5 million customers. Installed renewable energy capacity will account for 50 percent of EnBW’s generating portfolio by the end of 2025. EnBW was among the pioneers in offshore wind power with its Baltic 1 wind farm in the Baltic Sea. EnBW has developed, constructed and operates four offshore wind farms in Germany with a total installed capacity of 945 MW. Another 960 MW from the offshore wind farm He Dreiht are currently under development; the final investment decision in March 2023 cleared the way for the start of construction.
