Partner companies bp and EnBW are preferred bidders on two 60-year leases awarded by The Crown Estate in UK Offshore Wind Round 4 and have been offered an option agreement for an 860km2 lease by Crown Estate Scotland in the North Sea.
The partners intend to jointly develop and operate the leases to contribute to the UK’s 50GW target and Scotland's 11GW target for 2030.
The combined potential generating capacity of 5.9 GW is sufficient to power the equivalent of around 6 million UK households with clean electricity.
