In 2021 companies bid for "annual option fees" for the right to develop future wind farm projects. A further auction will take place under the Contract for Difference (CfD) support scheme to determine the price paid for electricity likely to be decided in 2022. Allowing for a planning process of 4-5 years the overall lead time on these projects is around 7 years.

Round 4 Offshore Wind Projects
In 2021 companies bid for "annual option fees" for the right to develop future wind farm projects. A further auction will take place under the Contract for Difference (CfD) support scheme to determine the price paid for electricity likely to be decided in 2022. Allowing for a planning process of 4-5 years the overall lead time on these projects is around 7 years. So these six projects represent the foreseeable future pipeline of offshore wind until the end of the decade.
| Project No. | Preferred Bidder | Location | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RWE Renewables | Dogger Bank | 1500 MW |
| 2 | RWE Renewables | Dogger Bank | 1500 MW |
| 3 | Green Investment Group - Total | Easter Regions | 1500 MW |
| 4 | Consortium of EnBW and BP | Northern Wales & Irish Sea |
1500 MW |
| 5 | Offshore Wind Limited (a joint venture between Cobra Instalaciones y Servicios S.A and Flotation Energy plc) |
Northern Wales & Irish Sea |
480 MW |
| 6 | 1500 MW | Northern Wales & Irish Sea |
1500 MW |
