POWER
The UK’s Crown State has set out plans to lease the UK’s seabed to allow an additional 20-30GW of offshore wind, with proposals to de-risk opportunities for developers and accelerate the deployment of new wind farms, it said.
- Additionally, the Crown State has detailed how it could invest in infrastructure to speed up the deployment of wind farms.
- It also hopes to help address current issues such as consenting and grid connections.
- “Our evolving approach to offshore wind development is designed to help remove some of the barriers to deployment of important new renewable energy and provide more certainty to investors,” director at the Crown Estate Gus Jaspert said.
