The Crown Estate’s 3 Mar 2026 press release on Ocean Winds entering an agreement for lease for the Celtic Sea Round 5 site (PDA 3) states: “Once these initial requirements have been completed, it can apply to obtain a lease from The Crown Estate to build and operate the wind farm, which could be operational by the mid-2030s.” This indicates full commercial operation in the mid-2030s (approx. mid-2035).
