en.Wedoany.com Reported - The joint venture between JERA Nex BP and EnBW has submitted a Section 36 consent application to the Scottish Government for the Morven offshore wind farm. The project secured seabed rights as a single project in the 2022 ScotWind leasing round, and has been split into two independent projects during the early development phase.

Located approximately 60 kilometers from the nearest point of the Aberdeenshire coast, the site plans to develop two sub-projects, Morven North and Morven South, with a total installed capacity of up to 3 GW, featuring around 190 wind turbines. The developer stated at the opening of the Morven project's statutory consultation period on June 4 that this consent application submission is the result of three years of work following the submission of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) scoping report in 2023.

Constructing and operating an offshore wind farm requires obtaining a Section 36 consent, as well as a marine license for placing infrastructure on the seabed. EnBW and JERA Next BP initially co-developed three projects: Morgan, Mona, and Morven. Earlier this year, the two companies terminated their cooperation on the Morgan and Mona projects in the UK, after which the Morgan project was halted. Both parties stated they would continue to jointly advance the Morven offshore wind farm in Scotland.
