The UK Government granted planning consent for Centrica’s Lincs offshore wind project in the Greater Wash, authorising construction of an offshore wind farm of around 250–270 MW with up to 70 turbines located approximately 8 km off Skegness, adjacent to the Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farms. This consent made Lincs the eighth Round 2 UK offshore wind project approved for construction and confirmed that Centrica had obtained planning permission for the scheme in 2008.
