Consultation with stakeholders and local communities is a key part of the planning and consenting processes. We are actively seeking input; with all comments and opinions provided carefully considered and used to help shape our plans.
The next round of consultation events for the White Cross floating offshore windfarm project are being held on the 20th and 21st October. The purpose of these events is to provide an update on the development of the project design and routing options and answer any questions that you may have about the project. Stakeholder and local community consultation is a central aspect of the planning and consenting process that is strongly valued by the project team. We are actively seeking your input; all comments and opinions will be carefully considered and used to help shape plans and support project decisions.
White Cross is a 100MW project being developed in the Celtic sea by Offshore Wind Limited. The windfarm site is approximately 50km on the North Devon and Cornwall Coast and covers an area of 50km2. It is expected that to deliver the maximum 100MW windfarm capacity only around 20% of this area will be required to site the expected 6 to 8 turbines and associated moorings. Each turbine will be supported by an innovative floating substructure technology that is anchored to the seabed. The offshore cable is proposed to make landfall on the North Devon coast near Braunton and the onshore cable will then connect to the existing substation as East Yelland, south of the River Taw.
We look forward to seeing you at one of the events, updating you on the project development since the last engagements and finding out your views on what is proposed.
