On 30 May 2022 Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm Limited submitted a marine licence application to NRW for a Fixed Offshore Windfarm named, Awel y Môr.
Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm is a proposed sister project to the operational Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm off the north-east coast of Wales. Awel y Môr will comprise up to 50 Wind Turbine Generators and all associated infrastructure required to transmit the electricity generated to shore.
The Awel y Môr array area lies approximately 10.5km off the north-east coast of Wales. The offshore Export Cable Corridor extends from the south-western to south-eastern boundary of the array area in a south-easterly direction to meet land at Frith Beach between Rhyl and Prestatyn.
Outside of the scope of this marine licence application, an onshore Export Cable Corridor extends from the landfall to the onshore substation west of St Asaph's Business Park before connecting to the National Grid substation at Bodelwyddan.
We publicly consulted on the information submitted in the original application. That consultation ran for 42 days and ended 18 August 2022.
We have produced a Statement where more information on the determination process for the Awel y Môr marine licence application can be found.
