The MaRS programme commenced early in 2008 and now has more than 450 layers of data. • Supporting the identification of potential areas for offshore wind and other marine activities • Identifying data constraints and weightings • Building understanding of marine policy and sustainability • Links the Crown Estate’s marine spatial planning and marine business strategy • Building financial and risk modeling capability

  5. UK Offshore Wind Programmes Rounds 1&2 • 1.3 GW operational • 7.6 GW in development • 1.5 GW extensions Scottish Territorial Waters • 5.3GW in pre-development Round 3 • 32GW in development Total: 47.7GW R3 focus is • Renewable energy targets • Jobs  Scale and programme

  6. UK Offshore Wind Market

  7. Round 3 Programme Update

  8. Extensions and Demonstration Sites The objective is to provide a bridge for the supply chain from Round 2 through to Round 3 and ensure that technology development can be accelerated: • Three operators selected to extend four sites, creating an additional 1.5 GW. • Two projects offered increased capacity within current site areas for a total of 340 MW. • Four sites with a total of 35 test pads awarded to developers
