where we are

Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm is a proposed renewable energy project, 10.5km off the coast of North Wales, covering a maximum total area of 78km2. This area is shown to the right, in dark green, west of the existing Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm in grey.

How the project came about

& where are we now.

In February 2017, The Crown Estate invited operators of existing UK offshore wind farms for expressions of interest regarding the possible extension of their projects. RWE expressed an interest in creating an extension to its existing Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm.

Following the results of an initial habitats assessment by The Crown Estate, RWE is looking to develop the extension to Gwynt y Môr, now named Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm. A full design and consenting process is now in its early stages and will include comprehensive stakeholder and community engagement. The consenting process is expected to take up to five years with construction following thereafter, and the wind farm becoming fully operational by 2030.

Even more of our energy needs to be obtained from renewable resources.
