EDF Renewables UK has formed a joint venture with Irish renewable project developer DP Energy to develop a 1 GW wind power project in the Celtic Sea. EDF said that the Gwynt Glas floating offshore wind project will support the Crown Estate’s aim to develop up to 4 GW of capacity in the Celtic Sea.

An area of around 1500 km2, located almost 70 km from shore, has been identified for the Gwynt Glas project. EDF Renewables UK said that over the coming weeks, the project team will carry out consultations with stakeholders and interested parties to refine the proposed location.
