en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Gwynt Glas offshore wind project, jointly developed by EDF power solutions and Irish utility company ESB, has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report. Located in the Celtic Sea, this UK offshore wind project has a planned capacity of 1.5 GW and has entered the formal pre-consultation and environmental assessment scoping phase.

The Gwynt Glas offshore wind project site is situated approximately 42 km off the southwest coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales, and is proposed to adopt a floating offshore wind solution. The project developer has submitted documents to the UK Planning Inspectorate, Natural Resources Wales, and the Marine Management Organisation, requesting these bodies to provide opinions on the topics and methods involved in the environmental impact assessment. Public consultation activities are expected to be held in the autumn.

The Gwynt Glas project previously secured its site in The Crown Estate's Round 5 leasing process. The project's electricity is expected to be connected to the proposed Llandyfaelog substation in Carmarthenshire, which will be built by National Grid. With the submission of the report for the 1.5 GW Gwynt Glas offshore wind project, the development of floating offshore wind in the UK's Celtic Sea will continue to advance in terms of environmental assessment, offshore foundations, submarine cables, grid connection, and subsequent permitting.
