contributes to climate change targets, provides high skilled jobs, supply chain diversification
and energy security
FLOW for the Celtic Sea
Stepping-stone approach
• Stepping-stone strategy to allow development of
indigenous supply chain
• 96 MW Demonstration (Erebus)
• Pre-commercial c.300 MW
• Leading to >500MW Commercial
• Wider opportunities in the Celtic Sea

Strong part of Net Zero for UK, Ireland and EU• Asynchronous with North Sea• Move towards hydrogen economy• Growth in interconnectors
Policy Issues
• Revenue support – Pot 2 of CfD
• Pipeline of projects
• Infrastructure and supply chain
• Grid
Celtic Sea issues
• First projects to go through the system
• Only 100MW T&D projects currently available from the Crown Estate
• No oil and gas sector legacy – significant investment required
• Investigation underway for long term requirements
