JERA Nex bp and EnBW have submitted offshore consent applications to the Scottish Government for the proposed Morven North and Morven South wind farms off Aberdeenshire.

The fixed-bottom projects are part of the wider 2.9GW Morven scheme. Each wind farm will include 95 or 96 turbines, with a maximum blade rotor diameter of 320m. The plans also include up to five offshore substations after a five-year build-out.

The developers will submit separate permit applications for two possible grid connections at Hawthorn Pit and Branxton in north-east England.

The projects are expected to go online between 2031 and 2035, depending on firm connection offers from NESO, which are expected early next year.
