RWE is pursuing the Crown Estate’s UK Round 5 seabed auction to secure at least 1 gigawatt of floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea – an area bordered by the coasts of South Wales, South West England, and South East Ireland.

Philippa Powell , the Celtic Sea Project Director at RWE said: ”We are set to participate in the upcoming Crown Estate’s UK Round 5 seabed auction. Commercial scale floating wind leasing offers the potential for multi-billion pound investment into the region; innovation is one of the key mechanisms that we are pursuing to try to ensure that the potential of this opportunity is realised locally.”
