The United Kingdom's Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero has granted planning consent for Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners’ 480 MW Morecambe wind project in the Irish Sea off England (Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) press release, 01/12/2025).
- The offshore wind park is scheduled to begin construction in 2027.
- This wind park is the fourth UK offshore wind project to reach this milestone in 2025, following approvals for RWE’s 1.2 GW Rampion 2 in April 2025 and JERA Nex bp-EnBW’s 1.5 GW Mona and 1.5 GW Morgan projects in July and August 2025
Morecambe is being developed by Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) on behalf of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), which acquired full ownership of the project in early 2025 from Cobra Group and Flotation Energy. COP is the exclusive offshore wind development partner to CIP.
