The Rampion 2 wind farm (Rampion 2) team has launched a four-week informal consultation to raise awareness and seek feedback on their initial proposals to expand the existing Rampion wind farm off the Sussex coast, UK.
A full and formal consultation will follow later in 2021, ahead of submission of a development consent application to build the new, clean energy infrastructure project.
