Offshore Wind Comes to the South West
Atlantic Array Update
Atlantic Array Update
Current focus
•Scoping report for IPC•Offshore survey work – birds and mammals, 2 years data•Geotech and geophysical surveys•Port evaluation•Onshore design and cable routes
Future focus
•Complete sub-sea surveys•Engineering design•Construction methosology•Port selection for construction•Met Mast installation•Complete EIA•Stakeholder consultation
Development phase budget circa £40m
