UK offshore wind: laying the ground work today | News and insights | Home – BP

Plans are critical, but its putting them into action that counts. As part of our strategy to get wind turbines turning, specialist vessels and crew are out on the Irish Sea undertaking massive seabed survey work. Its an early but important step on the road to building some of the UKs biggest offshore wind farms.

Once up and running, our Morgan and Mona projects could deliver enough capacity to power 3.4 million homes with clean electricity and help the UK to meet its climate goals. Their near-shore location around 30 kilometres off the coast of northwest England and north Wales will allow for lower-cost, more reliable transmission infrastructure, making them a core part of our plans for more secure and lower carbon energy for the UK.
