During its Development Consent Order process, the Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm participated in the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) Early Adopters Programme, a regulatory initiative to streamline examination of major projects. The Marine Management Organisation reports that under this programme it supported issue tracking and helped focus the Outer Dowsing examination on the most critical matters, while the developer notes that Early Adopters participation allowed processes to be streamlined and substation design principles to be refined.
