The White Cross Offshore Windfarm has submitted further environmental information supporting its application to North Devon Council and the Marine Management Organisation for consent to construct and operate a 100 MW floating offshore windfarm and for works to connect the windfarm to the grid.
The proposed site is located 52 kilometers off the North Devon coast, and is expected to consist of eight floating wind turbines.
Earlier this year, North Devon Council requested further environmental information be provided. This additional information, now submitted, includes the results of new ecological surveys and assessments, additional assessments and reports covering the cable route and landfall, as well as independent reviews of the site selection assessments for the project’s landfall point, cable corridor and substation site.
“Taking care of the environment around Saunton Sands, Braunton and East Yelland is a top priority for us,” says Al Rayner, White Cross project director.
“We want to be transparent about our plans and work with the community while we connect the turbines to the grid. Providing this updated information is the latest stage of that process, and we hope it will enable North Devon Council and the Marine Management Organisation to make an informed decision.”
White Cross Offshore Windfarm is a joint venture between Cobra and Flotation Energy.
