These rights will be governed by an ‘agreement for lease’, which will be awarded to a successful bidder through a competitive tender process under the Procurement Act 2023. The holder of the agreement for lease will acquire the rights necessary to develop an offshore wind farm and will ultimately enter into lease with The Crown Estate for the construction and operation of this wind farm.
