Welsh Ministers have granted a Section 36 consent with deemed planning permission to Blue Gem Wind to build and operate the Erebus project.
The news follows the recent decision by Natural Resources Wales to provide the joint venture between TotalEnergies and Simply Blue Group a marine licence. Erebus, Wales’ first planned floating wind farm is located approximately 40 kilometres off the Pembrokeshire coastline and will house turbines on floating platforms. Erebus, named after the famous ship built in 1826 in Pembroke Dock is due to be commissioned in 2026.
