TwinHub (previously called Wave Hub Floating Wind) floating offshore wind farm
TwinHub (previously called Wave Hub Floating Wind) is a 32 MW floating offshore wind farm with 4 turbines in English waters. Its status in the Renewable Energy Planning Database (July 2026 extract) is: approved on 12 January 2022, not yet built; the record was last updated on 13 December 2021. REPD gives a grid reference on the coast (TR27 5AS, Cornwall), not the position of the turbines, so the distance out to sea is not known from REPD. As a nationally significant project, it was decided by the Secretary of State responsible for energy at the time on a Development Consent Order after examination by the Planning Inspectorate (PA18/10363).

Who decides
As a nationally significant project, it was decided by the Secretary of State responsible for energy at the time on a Development Consent Order after examination by the Planning Inspectorate (PA18/10363). All Energy Secretary decisions on solar and wind farms.
All offshore wind farms in UK waters
Status and dates as recorded in the Renewable Energy Planning Database (July 2026 extract); the database can lag behind consent decisions. Location: REPD grid reference (50.193, -5.4305), which is on the coast rather than at the turbines.
