Delivery outlook not forecast
We don't put a delivery estimate on this project yet. No authority has granted rights to this site, so there is nothing to date a schedule from. That changes the moment the seabed is awarded, a consent application is filed, or the project is named in an auction.
Revenue & offtake route to market — open
No offtake secured — route to market open
Public Waters Occupancy and Use Permit (PWOP) granted March 2025 ◇
The routes describe what exists in this market — not a prediction of which the project will take.
