Wind Energy – Examination

North Falls Offshore Wind Farm’s (North Falls) Development Consent Order (DCO) application has been accepted for examination by the Planning Inspectorate, on behalf of the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government.

This marks a key milestone for the 50/50 joint venture between RWE Offshore Wind (RWE) and SSE Renewables (SSE).

North Falls now moves into the pre-examination phase of the consenting process for major infrastructure projects. The next phase, examination, is expected to begin in early 2025.

Project Director, Andy Paine commented, “North Falls is set to play a key role in the UK’s net zero ambitions, as well as unlocking opportunities to create jobs and boost the supply chain in the local area. We’re pleased to have reached this major milestone and look forward to the examination phase beginning in early 2025.”

“We would like to thank those who have engaged and shared feedback with the project. Engagement with local communities, stakeholders and businesses over the last six years, alongside close coordination with the proposed Five Estuaries Offshore Wind Farm, has informed project development and the application we submitted to the Planning Inspectorate.”
