The Morgan Offshore Wind Project and the Morecambe Offshore Windfarm are two consented offshore wind farms being developed in the Irish Sea.

The offshore wind farms are collaborating to connect to the national grid via the Morgan and Morecambe Offshore Wind Farms: Transmission Assets project.

The Transmission Assets consist of two electrically separate transmission systems, comprising offshore export cables, landfall works, and associated onshore infrastructure required to connect the offshore wind farms to the National Grid substation at Penwortham.

Following the close of the examination for the Morgan and Morecambe Offshore Wind Farms: Transmission Assets project, EnBW and JERA Nex bp have decided not to proceed with the Agreement for Lease for the Morgan offshore wind project. Whilst ownership of the Morgan project currently remains with EnBW and JERA Nex bp, the team is working closely with The Crown Estate (TCE) and Morecambe Offshore Windfarm Ltd to assess the implications of this decision. Morgan’s parent companies have been advised that TCE is considering their next steps in respect of the Morgan project with the aim to ensure the continued development of the site, which would be by another developer. TCE view the Morgan project as a continuing and live project and support the Development Consent Order (DCO) being considered as such.

The DCO application for the Morgan and Morecambe Transmission Assets continues to progress and has now entered the decision period of the process. The Morecambe Offshore Windfarm has confirmed it is progressing as planned with its development and delivery, in compliance and coordination with all statutory requirements and regulations.

The Morgan team will continue to engage constructively and collaboratively with Morecambe Offshore Windfarm Ltd and relevant stakeholders through the Morgan and Morecambe Transmission Assets DCO application process to support a positive determination.
