UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the government is drawing up plans to modify the way offshore wind farms connect to the grid.
Johnson said the government is “in the process of developing the necessary regulatory changes” to enable projects to join the grid in a more co-ordinated way.
BEIS is currently leading a review into the current OFTO system, which connects projects to shore via individual radial links.
The remarks came during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday after the Conservative MP for North Norfolk Duncan Baker sought clarity on the progress of the review.
Baker said a judicial review that quashed consent for Vattenfall’s 1.8GW Norfolk Vanguard project last week on the grounds that cumulative onshore impacts had not been considered, urgently showed the need for a new approach.

The spokesperson for Labour MP Clive Lewis, who represents Norwich South, said: “Clive’s view is that schools should remain open for children of key workers and looked-after children, much the same as the first lockdown.
“At the same time, the evidence is clear that education as a whole contributes between 0.3-0.7 to the R rate, and anything over 1 means the pandemic is growing.
“The new variant contributes up to 0.7 to R, so if you combine education plus the inevitable impact of the new variant, by allowing schools to stay open, you are saying: ‘We are going to let the pandemic spread.’
