The UK government has granted planning consent for the 480 MW Morecambe Offshore Wind Farm, a project being developed in the Irish Sea by Danish renewables investor Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP). Once in operation, the wind farm is expected to supply power to around half a million homes in the UK.

Located about 30 km off the Lancashire coast in the eastern Irish Sea, Morecambe is planned as a fixed-bottom offshore wind project with up to 35 turbines. The consent is issued as a Development Consent Order (DCO) covering the project’s generation assets, including turbines and associated offshore infrastructure.

CIP, which took full ownership of the project earlier this year, is leading development through its offshore wind platform Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP).
