Planning Challenges in Offshore Renewable Energy: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Justin Moran:
It would certainly be one of the biggest drawbacks. I will give a very concrete example of this. The reason that the first DMAP was done on the south coast is because it has the strongest area of the grid to take additional capacity. We have projects already on the east coast and there are challenges in the west and north west. The greatest grid capacity was available on the south coast. That is the reason that was the first location identified for the DMAP.
