Ocean Winds Secures Third Celtic Sea Floating Wind Site

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.

This is the sub-heading.

Ocean Winds has secured the third floating offshore wind site in the Celtic Sea, offered through the Crown Estate’s Round 5 auction earlier this year. The developer is joining Equinor and the Gwynt Glas joint venture, which were awarded rights for two of the three sites offered in Round 5 in June.

This paragraph outlines Ocean Winds’s deal.

On 19 November, the Crown Estate said that Ocean Winds was set to be awarded the rights for a third floating offshore wind site in the Celtic Sea.

There would now appear to be three Celtic Winds deals for wind farms.

• Gwynt Glas – 1.5 GW
• Ocean Winds – 1.5 GW
• Equinor – 1.5 GW

Note.

1. 4.5 GW will be able to power a good proportion of South Wales and  the South-West peninsular.
2. In Gwynt Glas And South Wales Ports Combine Strength In Preparation For Multi-Billion Floating Wind Industry, I talk about partnerships between the wind farms and the ports.
3. If you sign up for a  large wind farm from the Crown Estate, do you get to have afternoon tea with Charles and Camilla in the garden at Highgrove or even Buckingham Palace?

This map of the wind farms is available from download from this page on the Crown Estate web site.

Note.

1. Gwynt Glas is in green.
2. Ocean Winds is in blue.
3. Equinor is in mauve.
4. The white dot to the East of the wind farms is Lundy Island.

This triple wind farm is certainly well-placed to supply power to Cornwall, Devon and South Wales.
