Orsted is holding several public events next week to provide information on the proposed Hornsea 4 offshore wind farm development off the east coast of England.
The up to 180-turbine project would be located to the west of the under construction 1218MW Hornsea 1 development about 65km off Flamborough Head on the Yorkshire coast, the Danish company said.
It added that proposals for Hornsea 4 are still at a “very early stage” in the development process, but the events will allow local people to find out more about the project, view early plans and to provide initial feedback.
Orsted is preparing a project scoping report for the meetings that will present desk-based research on the existing onshore and offshore environments in the location of the Hornsea 4.
The first meeting will be on 22 October at Foston on the Wolds village hall, followed by a second at Barmston and Fraisthorpe village hall on the 25 October.
Leconfield village hall will host the third event on 26 October, with the final meeting at Woodmansey vilage hall the following day.
The first three events will run from 2pm to 8pm, with the last one from 10.30am to 4pm.
Orsted project development manager Stuart Livesey said: “Proposals for Hornsea 4 are still at a very early stage and there is a great deal of consultation and assessment work ahead.“
We’d encourage any interested individuals and groups to attend the events, so they can better understand what is being proposed and the project team can capture their thoughts and comments.
“Understanding what issues are most important for the local community is key, and the feedback gathered at these events will help us to shape our proposal going forward.”
