Other Permit Awarded

Marine Scotland’s online project portal for the Robin Rigg Offshore Windfarm records that a marine licence titled “Marine Licence - Inter-array cable repair and replacement - Robin Rigg Windfarm Area, Solway Firth – 00010919” has been issued. The entry classifies this as a “Licence” for the “Construction, alteration or improvement of any works” and gives a date of 2024-12-05. This indicates that the competent marine authority has formally granted consent for activity-specific works on the inter-array cable system within the Robin Rigg windfarm area in the Solway Firth. The licence sits within the wider set of applications and licences listed for the project on the Marine Scotland portal, which is shown as a post-consent renewable wind development. In contrast to application entries, which are clearly labelled “Application”, this record is explicitly identified as a granted “Licence”, evidencing that the regulatory decision has been taken and the permission is in force as of the stated date. The wording of the licence title specifies that the authorised scope covers repair and replacement of inter-array cables serving the operational windfarm. By recording this licence with a specific reference number (00010919) and date, the portal provides traceable confirmation that Robin Rigg holds an up-to-date marine permission for these defined cable works. This enables the project to undertake construction or alteration activities on its inter-array cables in line with the conditions of the marine licence and within the regulatory framework administered by Marine Scotland.
