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. The Crown Estate (TCE) is currently considering its next steps regarding the Morgan project, with the aim to ensure the continued development of the site.
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.
We are expecting a decision on the Development Consent Order (DCO) application for the Morgan and Morecambe Offshore Wind Farms: Transmission Assets project on 14 September 2026. For more information, please visit the Planning Inspectorate website here.
