Morven plans to commission its offshore substation platform(s) around 2029, ahead of first power in 2030 and full commercial operations in 2030. As a radial-connected 2.9 GW fixed-bottom offshore wind farm with two array sites (Morven North and Morven South) and an HVDC export to the planned Hawthorn Pit substation near Seaham in north-east England (with a separate Branxton connection in East Lothian), the offshore substation must be commissioned and energised before turbines can export power onshore. Year precision reflects phase-level scheduling on the developer's website.
