United Kingdom

Business ID: L#20261190

The opportunity relates to a large-scale offshore wind farm under development in the United Kingdom, with a planned capacity of approximately 850 MW and estimated project investment of several billion pounds sterling, excluding separate transmission infrastructure costs.

The project is backed by an established international energy developer and has progressed through several key development and permitting milestones, including seabed rights, development consent, grid connection arrangements, environmental assessments, and technical feasibility studies.

The project is targeting a future UK Contracts for Difference (CfD) allocation round, with the objective of securing long-term, inflation-linked revenue support, subject to the applicable allocation process and contract award.

An existing minority shareholder is seeking to divest its entire interest as part of a portfolio rationalization process. The opportunity provides investors with potential exposure to a utility-scale renewable energy development alongside an established industry participant.
