The main barrier to the development of offshore wind generation is not the cost but the licensing process through the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment. What role does the CRU have vis-à-visoffshore wind? Does it control the connection points for offshore wind farms? Does it give permission to access grid connection points in order to ensure that there are only one or two such points along the coast, rather than ten or more, for example? Does the CRU control that?
