Executive Summary
Given the critical role of power generation such as offshore wind to government goals of clean power by 2030, further barriers through the MMO are an area that must seek to be avoided. These fee increases will cause downstream difficulties for offshore wind developers, without further explanation for how they will improve the planning and consenting process for them. In summary, much greater justification is therefore needed for these planned fee increases, and Energy UK will continue to oppose these until new evidence is presented which proves otherwise.
