Abstract
Centrica is proposing to develop three offshore wind farms within the Greater Wash Strategic Area, Lincs, Docking Shoal and Race Bank (applications will be made by Centrica (Lincs) Ltd, Centrica (DSW) Ltd and Centrica (RBW) Ltd). This follows a tender launched by the Crown Estate in July 2003 to bid for wind farm sites within three strategic offshore areas. Cables are required to connect each of these wind farms to an onshore substation located at Walpole Marsh, Norfolk. This Environmental Statement incorporates onshore works for all three wind farms.
