Mr. Tim Murphy:

The first step was last week, when clarification was obtained regarding offshore wind renewable electricity support scheme competition, ORESS, auctions. At least we now know who the potential customers are. On the back of that, we will re-engage with them to see what the requirements are. We are fairly confident, having considered the matter with them, that we have two key walls that will meet their planning and foreshore requirements. Also, we have a quay-side area in place with lay-down and storage areas.

On timelines, it is a matter of finishing our business plan this year. We have a multi-party framework for consultants in place, so we can pull consultants off that. Our plan for all next year is doing the design and getting the project out to the contracting market. The plan is to build it out throughout 2025 and in early 2026. By the time the developers announced last week are getting their planning permission, we will be building out.
