Clean energy prospectus 2025
Devon County Council, North Devon Council, North Devon Plus, Plymouth City Council, Torbay Council and Torridge District Council have jointly launched the Devon Energy Prospectus, setting out the region’s bold ambitions and extensive investment opportunities in clean energy.
The prospectus highlights Devon’s leadership in floating offshore wind (FLOW), with the White Cross project in North Devon set to become the region’s first FLOW development after recently receiving full planning consent. Work is expected to begin on the cable in 2027, and on the wind farm in 2028. The 100 MW project will power nearly 135,000 homes and serve as a catalyst for larger Celtic Sea developments.
