Crown Estate Approves 4.7 GW Offshore Wind Capacity Increase
The Crown Estate has approved a 4.7 GW capacity boost across seven existing UK offshore wind projects under its Capacity Increase Programme. This initiative includes expansions at sites such as RWE’s Rampion 2 and SSE/Equinor’s Dogger Bank D. All projects have secured grid connections and infrastructure, facilitating accelerated deployment. The expansion supports the UK’s target of achieving 50 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, up from the current 15 GW. The additional capacity is expected to supply clean energy to up to four million homes, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Boom Power Secures Permit for 400MW Solar Project in East Yorkshire
Boom Power has received approval for its 400MW East Yorkshire solar project, marking a significant advancement in the UK’s renewable energy sector. The Development Consent Order (DCO) was granted by Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, enabling the progression of this large-scale photovoltaic initiative.
