Other Permit Submitted

Marine Scotland’s online project portal for the Robin Rigg Offshore Windfarm records the submission of a marine licence application specifically for potential cable repairs within the Robin Rigg Windfarm Area in the Solway Firth. The entry is titled “Marine Licence Application - Potential Cable Repairs - Robin Rigg Windfarm Area, Solway Firth - 05442” and is categorised as an application under the project type “Renewables - Wind.” The portal lists a date submitted of 2019-12-18, indicating that by this point the project’s owner or operator had formally sought consent for regulated works associated with potential repairs to subsea cables serving the operational wind farm. This cable-repair marine licence application sits within a broader set of Robin Rigg consents and licences displayed on Marine Scotland’s portal, which together cover construction, operation, scour protection, and turbine removal activities for the site. The specific 05442 application is distinct from related entries on the same page, including a separate listing for a marine licence (rather than the application) for potential cable repairs, also dated 2019-12-18. The application record therefore captures the regulatory step at which Robin Rigg requested authorisation for possible future cable repair works, ensuring that any such interventions in the Solway Firth could proceed within the Scottish marine licensing framework. This application represents an operational-phase regulatory milestone, focused on safeguarding the integrity and continuity of the project’s subsea cable infrastructure.
