DELAYED +1yr (May 2026): Projection of full commercial operation by 2030-12-31 is inconsistent with current stated timeline: official project materials target first generation before end of the decade (i.e., by 2030) and earlier project context for Ossian commonly cites COD around 2031. Given first-power targeted by 2030 at earliest and the additional schedule risk introduced by the paused/withdrawn Lincolnshire transmission DCO process (pending revised grid design), shifting full commercial operations to end-2031 as a more realistic post-first-power ramp to full COD for a 3.6GW floating project. --- The Ossian offshore wind farm is anticipated to be fully operational by the end of the decade, implying that the project aims to reach commercial operation at its intended capacity in the late 2020s or around 2030, subject to grid design outcomes and remaining development milestones.
