An essential reference for anyone working in or entering the UK offshore wind sector. Authored by BVG Associates and published by OEUK, this guide provides a clear overview of the five key regulatory processes governing offshore wind development across the UK’s four nations.
Reflecting the regulatory position as of May 2026, the guide covers marine spatial planning, seabed leasing, consenting, grid connection and offtake. It includes detailed coverage of Leasing Round 5, the ScotWind leasing round, Allocation Round 7 results and the latest reforms to streamline consenting and grid connection timelines. A project financing appendix outlines typical financing structures and the government’s role in enabling investment.
