UK Government consents Rampion 2 Offshore Wind Farm

Monday, April 7 2025

Wind Energy – DCO Rampion 2

The Rampion 2 Offshore Wind Farm, located off the Sussex coast, has been consented, securing 1.2 GW of clean, secure, and homegrown power for British families.

The Development Consent Order (DCO), issued by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero on 4 April, will come into force on 28 April.

The Rampion 2 Offshore Wind Farm off the Sussex coast has been granted planning permission, securing 1.2GW of clean, secure, homegrown power for British families and businesses.

RWE signed a seabed lease agreement with The Crown Estate in 2021 and submitted the DCO application for Rampion 2 in August 2023. The Planning Inspectorate started the examination process on 7 September 2023.

The Rampion 2 developer estimates that this project alone will create 4,000 jobs in the construction of the 90 offshore turbines with a rotor diameter of no more than 295 metres each.

Approval moves the government a step closer to delivering clean power by 2030, putting the UK within 4 GW of the offshore wind range of 43-50 GW set out in the Clean Power Action Plan.
