Energy giant RWE has said it is disappointed by the uk government’s sudden decision to delay a consent order for the 3GW Dogger Bank South offshore wind farms.

The original deadline for a decision to be made on Dogger Bank South was January 10, but this has now been extended to April 30, ‘to allow time to request further information that was not provided for consideration during the examination period and to give all interested parties the opportunity to review and comment on such information’, minister for Energy Consumers Martin McCluskey, under the Department for Energy and Net Zero (DESNZ), said in a written statement to the UK Parliament.
