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.
