Navitus Bay Development Ltd (NBDL) is a joint venture between EDF Energy Renewables and Eneco Wind UK Ltd. It wants to construct and operate ‘Navitus Bay Wind Park’ in Poole Bay (between the Purbecks and the Isle of Wight).
The developer has applied for consent to construct up to 194 turbines. Turbines up to 200 metres tall are currently planned.
Good news for blade manufacturing on the Isle of Wight as MHI Vestas Offshore Wind is named as preferred bidder for the proposed Navitus Bay wind farm.
There's a huge number of considerations that members of the planning committee will need to take into account when debating this application on Tuesday.
