There Are Only Three Large Offshore Wind Farms In Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 6

This document from the Department of Business, Industry and Industrial Strategy lists all the Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 6 results for the supply of zero-carbon electricity.

The wind farms are.

• Green Volt – 400 MW – Floating – Claims to be “The first commercial-scale floating offshore windfarm in Europe”.
• Hornsea Four  – 2,400 MW – Fixed – Ørsted
• East Anglia Two – 963 MW – Fixed – Iberdrola

Is this what misgovernment expected, when they raised the budget in July 2024, as I wrote about in UK Boosts Sixth CfD Auction Budget, Earmarks GBP 1.1 Billion For Offshore Wind.

Perhaps, some developers held back until government policy is clearer?
