On 4 July 2025, the UK Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband, granted the Development Consent Order for the Mona Offshore Wind Farm, authorising an offshore wind farm of up to 96 turbines and up to four offshore substation platforms in the east Irish Sea, with export cables making landfall on the North Wales coast and connecting via onshore infrastructure to the Bodelwyddan National Grid substation; Mona thus became the first UK Round 4 leasing project to secure consent.
