Morgan Offshore Wind Limited, a joint venture between BP Alternative Energy Investments Ltd and Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, received development consent for its Morgan Generation Assets offshore wind project in the Irish Sea on 29 August 2025. The Secretary of State approved the project, which will be built entirely within the UK’s Exclusive Economic Zone. The development includes up to 96 wind turbine generators, four offshore substation platforms and a network of subsea interconnector cables. The consent supports the UK government’s aim to generate 50 GW of offshore wind by 2030, helping the country meet net‑zero targets and improve energy security. Throughout the application, the Marine Management Organisation worked with the applicant, the Planning Inspectorate and other stakeholders to address marine environmental impacts, providing input across seven deadlines that closed on 10 March 2025. The MMO will continue to engage post-consent.
