Abstract
This Environmental Impact Assessment for the Thanet Offshore Wind Farm Project includes a series of reports published by The Crown Estate on the website, Marine Data Exchange. Thanet Offshore Wind Limited (TOW), a subsidiary of Warwick Energy Limited (WEL), was created to develop opportunities for energy generation from renewable resources in the Thanet area.
TOW was awarded the rights to develop an offshore wind farm in the Thames Estuary Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) area by The Crown Estate under Round Two of the offshore wind licensing arrangements. This was subject to TOW being successful in gaining the necessary consents for construction and operation of the wind farm which was achieved.
