Orsted has warned the UK will miss its offshore wind targets if the grid connection process is not accelerated. The company says "many" projects are being given connections dates as far as 12 years out. The generator’s claims have been backed up by RenewableUK, which has also complained that since 2017 "every single" wind farm in English and Welsh waters applying for planning permission has experienced delays in the process.
