“The award of the CfD is an important milestone for the project as we continue to work closely with our key suppliers and stakeholders towards achieving financial close later this year”, said John Hill , Inch Cape Project Director.

Located in the North Sea off the Angus coast, the Inc Cape offshore wind farm will connect to the national grid via an 85-kilometre offshore cable route and through an onshore substation currently under construction at Cockenzie in East Lothian.

The UK government granted East Anglia Three Limited a CfD for a 158.90 MW share of the East Anglia THREE offshore wind farm and East Anglia Two Limited a 963.07 MW CfD for the East Anglia Two project.

The two projects are being developed by ScottishPower Renewables, Iberdrola’s company in the UK.

The UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has awarded Ørsted CfD for a 1,080 MW share of the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm, as well as a 2,400 MW CfD for Hornsea 4.

CfDs were awarded at inflation-indexed strike prices of GBP 54.23/MWh for the share of Hornsea 3 and GBP 58.87/MWh for Hornsea 4.

“We’re pleased with the outcome of allocation round 6, which is an important milestone for two of the world’s largest offshore wind farms. We look forward to delivering these landmark projects, which will supply renewable power at large scale to UK consumers and businesses and help the UK government achieve its target of quadrupling offshore wind capacity to 60 GW by 2030”, said Rasmus Errboe , Deputy CEO and Chief Commercial Officer at Ørsted.

The 2.9 GW Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm, located approximately 160 kilometres off the Yorkshire coast, will feature 200 Siemens Gamesa’s 14 MW wind turbines and is expected to be operational in 2027.

Ørsted expects to take the final investment decision on Hornsea 4 within the next 18 months and is currently targeting the commissioning of the project before the end of 2030.

In July, the UK government decided to increase the budget for AR6 to GBP 1.5 billion, including GBP 1.1 billion for offshore wind.

The funding uplift represented more than a 50 per cent increase on the budget previously set in March this year.
