Seagreen 1A Marine Licence Consultation - 13 May - 24 June 2021
The Seagreen 1A project has taken another step forward and has applied to Scottish Ministers for a Marine Licence under section 20 of the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010 and section 65 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to construct an offshore export cable approximately 110 km in length, along with cable protection, in the Firth of Forth and Firth of Tay. The public notice can be found here and copied below:
The application is to connect part of the Seagreen Alpha and Seagreen Bravo Offshore Wind Farms (the Seagreen project) at Cockenzie, East Lothian.
The Marine Licence is out for consultation from 13 May until 24 June 2021 and interested stakeholders, organisations and individuals can view the application documents at the Marine Scotland website and we have uploaded the documents in our ‘Documents’ section of the website as well.

January 2021 Exhibition
Seagreen 1A held a virtual public consultation for the onshore and offshore applications from 11th January 2021 to 1st February 2021 and thank you to all of those who got in touch with the team and provided feedback on the plans.
The virtual exhibition included a number of exhibition boards and we have moved them to this page so the information is still available - please click here to go to boards. The virtual public exhibition also included a feedback form and live chat events to allow local communities, environmental groups and other interested parties to comment upon our onshore and offshore proposals.
Thank you again to all of those who provided input into the proposals.
In March 2021, Seagreen 1A submitted applications to East Lothian Council (onshore works) and Marine Scotland (offshore works).
