North Falls consultation to close in two weeks

The team from the North Falls Offshore Wind Farm has invited people from North Essex and surrounding areas to provide feedback on early proposals for the project that is being developed across a total area of 150 km² located more than 20 km off the UK coast.

The consultation opened in October and has been running for five weeks, with more than 50 responses received to date, offering opinions and insights into the consultation itself, offshore wind technology and on specifics of the project including possible landfall locations between Clacton and Frinton-by-the-Sea, construction methods and how the local environment will be taken into account.

Martin Whyte, Project Manager at North Falls, said: ”Although the location of the onshore grid connection is not yet known, it is likely to be in North Essex and that is why we are focusing this first consultation in that area, encouraging nearby communities to give us the benefit of their local knowledge upfront.

“While there will be further opportunities for local people to offer their views in future detailed consultations and as part of the formal consenting process, by seeking early inputs we can identify potential concerns or issues at an immature stage of development.”

North Falls is owned equally by SSE Renewables and RWE Renewables, who have established a 50/50 joint venture company to develop the project. It is being developed on a site more than 20 km off the UK coast in the southern North Sea and covers a total area of 150 km². It is an extension project to the adjacent 504 MW Greater Gabbard wind farm which opened in 2013.
