Cerulean Winds, the lead developer of a 3GW UK floating offshore wind project, remains on track for operation before 2030 following the successful completion of offshore surveys in 2024. Geophysical and environmental investigations were conducted along the proposed cable corridor and turbine array area. The developer plans to reach a final investment decision in 2026.
Survey work was carried out by GoBe, a planning and consenting advisor, and marine survey specialist Gardline. Geophysical surveys mapped seabed topography to optimise cable routing and turbine placement. Additional investigations, including underwater video, water and sediment sampling, recorded habitats and species within the development area for use in the Environmental Impact Assessment.
