Three fixed‑bottom sites totalling 3.1 GW form the first phase of the draft, matched to the government’s target of 3 GW installed by 2035. A second phase of two further fixed‑bottom areas (2.4 GW) is contingent on relocating existing military zones, and a third phase designates a 6 GW deepwater area expected to require floating technology; feedback on the draft closes 31 July.
The draft identifies 11 concession areas, whereas earlier same‑day reporting by the Ministry of Energy cited six areas.
