The proposed offshore Project site covers an area of 40 km² which lies approximately 7 km north off the North Wirral coast. The maximum capacity of the wind farm will be up to 258 MW, consisting of offshore wind turbines and foundations, an offshore substation, buried inter-array and export cable(s), buried onshore cable(s) from the cable landfall in North Wales between Rhyl and Prestatyn to a new onshore substation next to the Bodelwyddan substation near St Asaph in Denbighshire where the cable will connect with the National Grid.
