The Offshore UK Wind Program is the development of the Morgan, Mona, and Morven projects. The program play a material part in supporting the UK Government’s target of producing sufficient offshore wind energy to power every UK home by the end of this decade. These projects have a combined potential generating capacity of 5.9 gigawatts, sufficient to power the equivalent of around 6 million households – helping to achieve Scotland’s offshore wind generation target of 11GW and the UK’s 50GW target by 2030. BP have formed a 50/50 JV partnership with Hamburg based EnBW in delivery of the UK Offshore Wind programme.
