Morgan offshore wind farm
Morgan Offshore Wind Farm is a 1,500 MW offshore wind farm with 96 turbines in English waters. Its status: consented in August 2025, but EnBW announced on 15 January 2026 that it would not continue the project, and on 27 July 2026 The Crown Estate opened a new tender for the Morgan seabed site (EnBW; The Crown Estate). The Renewable Energy Planning Database (July 2026 extract) still records: approved on 29 August 2025, not yet built; the record was last updated on 3 March 2026. REPD gives no grid reference for it. As a nationally significant project, it was decided by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero on a Development Consent Order after examination by the Planning Inspectorate (EN010136).
