The UK Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Kwasi Kwarteng will be setting a new deadline for a Development Consent Order (DCO) decision on Vattenfall’s 1.8 GW Norfolk Boreas offshore wind project.
A statement confirming the new deadline for a decision will be made in due course, the Planning Inspectorate said.
The deadline for the DCO decision on Norfolk Boreas has already been extended before and the final consenting order was expected this month.
The delay comes less than two months after the UK High Court quashed the decision of the UK Secretary of State to grant the application for development consent for Vattenfall’s second project off Norfolk, the 1.8 GW Norfolk Vanguard.
