Two Welsh offshore wind projects have secured contracts in the latest UK Government auction, marking a significant step forward for Wales' renewable energy ambitions and deliver thousands of jobs.
The Awel y Mor fixed offshore wind project in north Wales and the Erebus floating offshore wind project off the coast of Pembrokeshire both received contracts through the Contracts for Difference allocation round.
The projects are expected to bring substantial economic benefits to Wales, with the Awel y Mor development alone anticipated to create around 2,000 jobs during construction and another 50 roles to support delivery with RWE. The Erebus project is expected to support over 600 jobs during construction and 500 through the supply chain.
The Erebus project will help establish Wales as a leader in the emerging floating offshore wind industry.
