Details
In August 2020 the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change granted consent for the East Anglia Three Offshore Wind Farm Order 2017 (“the Order”) which included, in Schedules 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, six Deemed Marine Licences (DMLs) in accordance with Section 149 of the Planning Act 2008.
In April 2025 the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) received a request from the Project to vary the DMLs for East Anglia Three (Schedules 10-13) contained within the Order. The request was to make the following key changes:
- To increase the maximum hammer energy to be used for both the monopile foundations (from a consented 3,500 kJ to a proposed maximum of 4,400 kJ), and the OFCS [Offshore Converter Station] jacket foundation pin piles (from a consented 1,800 kJ to a proposed maximum of 2,100 kJ).
The MMO has now completed its consideration of these requests and, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 72(3) (d) of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, has varied the DMLs as detailed in the Notices of Variation enclosed effective from 07/08/2025.
