1.5 GW Morgan Offshore Wind Site Up for Grabs Again as Crown Estate Launches Accelerated Tender

Bids will be determined through a transparent rising clock auction, with the Site Exclusivity Fee payable over 20 years from the lease start. The Crown Estate expects to select a preferred bidder by the end of 2026, with bids submitted over the summer. Morgan already holds a Development Consent Order from August 2025, a transmission DCO decision is due in September 2026, and a grid connection agreement with NESO is in place. The site was originally awarded in 2021 to an EnBW–JERA Nex BP joint venture, which discontinued development in January 2026 after EnBW exited; JERA Nex BP retained the adjacent Mona project.
