Awel y Môr

Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm is being developed as an extension to the existing Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm. It is located approximately 10.5km off the north Wales coast in the Irish Sea, with a maximum total area of 78km2.

The project is now fully consented, having received its Development Consent Order and necessary marine licenses in September and November 2023 respectively.

The maximum number of turbines will be between 34 and 50, with a maximum tip height of 332m. The precise number of turbines and their exact dimensions will be decided later in the development process.
