The UK's Crown Estate has opened a fresh round of leasing for the rights to develop 7 GW of offshore wind. The second stage of the Round 4 leasing process began with the issuance of a pre-qualification questionnaire on the organisation's eTendering Portal, which will be followed by invitations to tender between February and June 2020. Plan-Level Habitats Regulations assessments will then take place between autumn 2020 and summer 2021, with successful bidders being agreed in autumn 2021.
