Offshore Wind Environmental Compensation Reforms (ECR)

Summary

The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is addressing the challenge of limited and time-consuming environmental compensation measures for offshore wind developments, which hinder project deployment and the goal of achieving clean power by 2030. The proposed approach involves reforming existing environmental compensation processes through secondary legislation and guidance to enable a wider scope of compensatory measures. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with an options assessment recommending a preferred approach that anticipates significant social value and cost savings to businesses.
