Offshore wind
Ready for wind
High-tech Seawatch® Wind Lidar buoys scope the Irish Sea before construction can begin on two new wind farms.
The UK needs more home-grown, lower carbon energy as it transitions to net zero. bp’s ambition is to be a net zero company by 2050, or sooner and to help the world get to net zero.
We aim to be a global leader in safely developing, building, operating and owning offshore wind farms. We’re making waves towards our aims, developing cutting-edge offshore wind farms in the Irish and North Sea capable of contributing to the UK’s 50-gigawatt and Scotland’s 11-gigawatt wind power targets by 2030.
In the UK, along with our partner EnBW, we are leading the development of the Morgan and Mona projects in the Irish Sea and Morven in the North Sea. These have a combined potential generating capacity of 5.9GW, sufficient to power the equivalent of around 6 million households. In early 2023, we were successful in our bid for our first floating offshore wind demonstration project offshore Aberdeenshire.
