Intog
In March 2024, the Scottish Government confirmed revised timelines for the publication of the updated Sectoral Marine Plan for Offshore Wind Energy (SMP-OWE), incorporating the INTOG SMP, indicating that the final plan will be adopted in Spring 2025.
Given the revised timelines, Crown Estate Scotland confirmed it is willing to consider entering into an Option Agreement with any developer who has been granted a section 36 consent and marine licence from the Scottish Ministers for their proposed project in advance of the adoption of the SMP-OWE, and subject to satisfying our pre-conditions of stepping into the Option Agreement.
