Another few GW of capacity have been awarded through a clearing process which commenced after the Scotwind auctions.
I -think- that brings the total auctioned capacity to about 28GW. Staggering numbers.
With the Westminster administered auctions included, what's the total funnel of planned UK offshore wind capacity now?

Even more offshore Scotland
Re: Even more offshore Scotland
That's a lot of permitted offshore wind! They'll definitely need to get moving with the Eastern Bootstrap HVDCs to shunt that power around without constraint - plans for 2x 2GW HVDC lines to move power from Scotland down into England. Not sure where they've got to.

Re: Even more offshore Scotland
Can anyone answer this question. Are the Scottish seabed lease auctions additional RE deployment, or are they 'just' options for seabed lease, on which a company can then assess costs and submit a bid under the UK CfD mechanism?
In other words, are these separate deployments, or is the Scottish lease 'just' a stage along the route to a CfD contract?
