The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the company behind the Morgan windfarm pulling out of the project on the proposed Morgan and Morecambe cabling corridor.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The planning application for the Morgan and Morecambe Offshore Wind Farm Transmission Assets is a live case. The government is unable to discuss matters relating to live planning applications.

The UK is one of the most successful and attractive markets for offshore wind in the world and has seen £62 billion of private investment in clean energy industries since July 2024
