Celtic Array
United Kingdom
The Celtic Array was a proposed UK round 3 offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea south east of the Isle of Man. The wind farm zone was awarded to Centrica for development in 2012, and in 2012 Centrica formed a joint venture with DONG Energy to develop the zone; a "zone appraisal report" published in 2012 split the area into 3 development zones, with large scale gaps between, primarily to prevent disruption to shipping; the three development zones were estimated to have a total capacity of between 2.9 and 5.4 GW. In 2012 a planning application for the southeastern zone was submitted, as the Rhiannon Wind Farm, with an estimated capacity of 2.2 GW. In July 2014 the developers terminated plans for the wind farm due to unviable turbine foundation costs.
