The Crown Estate will launch a competitive tender next month, aiming to appoint a new developer by late 2026. The site was originally awarded under Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4 in 2021, but development stopped in January 2026 when the EnBW–JERA Nex BP joint venture returned the lease after JERA Nex BP acquired EnBW’s stake in the 1.5 GW Mona project. Morgan retains a Development Consent Order for generation assets (August 2025), a grid connection agreement with NESO, and a transmission infrastructure decision due this September. The tender will run separately from Round 6, planned for the first half of next year, and is not expected to affect that timeline.
