Seagreen gets bigger

If I'm reading this right, the Seagreen offshore floating windfarm that is already in construction and generating power from those turbines already installed - they've got consent for the remaining turbines yet to be installed to have a power/capacity increase, to generate an additional 140MW?
So the remaining 36 turbines to be planted will be what, 14MW machines, instead of 10MW?

From the link:

Para 2.

The Section 36C (S36C) application to increase the potential installed capacity of the project’s remaining 36 turbines from 360MW to up to 500MW has been granted.

Indeed, was just trying to do the maths!
Going from 10 to 14MW machines seems entirely feasible.

I saw

“Seagreen, Scotland’s largest and the world’s deepest fixed based offshore wind farm, ...

and interpreted that as piled. I wouldn't expect a floating one to be moveable because of the need for power lines to the shore...
