Cierco Energy has secured Section 36 consent for its Llŷr floating wind projects, totaling 200MW, located 30km off Pembrokeshire. The projects received a marine license from Natural Resources Wales in June and an Agreement for Lease with the Crown Estate was finalized in July.
Construction is expected to create around 2,000 jobs, supporting Wales' transition to renewable energy and contributing to net-zero carbon objectives. The first power generation is anticipated by 2031. This development positions South West Wales as a center for offshore wind innovation and may stimulate regional economic growth and job creation in associated industries.
