Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm is a project being developed by RWE Renewables (RWE) to the west of the existing Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm. It is located approximately 10.5km off the Welsh coast in the Irish Sea, with a maximum total area of 78km2.
RWE is proud to be leading the development of the Awel y Môr project. RWE is the largest renewable energy operator in Wales. We generate one third of all of Wales’ renewable electricity. The teams have extensive experience in developing, building and operating renewable energy projects.
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.
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.
