Offshore wind delays raise questions over Labour's 2030 clean power target
"Probably not."
"This is more than £20 billion of investment in UK infrastructure,"
"We shouldn't be overly negative about whether delivery is a couple of months late."
"critical"
RWE won five of six contracts in the latest offshore wind auction, representing 6.9 gigawatts of capacity. Several of those projects are unlikely to be generating power by the end of 2030. Three of the five projects are contracted to begin operations in the 2030–31 financial year, making delivery before the end of 2030 difficult. Two large schemes at Dogger Bank are still awaiting planning consent, with a decision delayed until the end of April. Planned grid connections for Dogger Bank are scheduled for October 2030, after which commissioning would be required. The projects represent more than £20 billion of investment, while the government assessment expects almost 8.5 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity to be operating by 2030 and describes the outcome as critical.
