Navitus
Bay
will
now
employ
a
maximum
of
218
turbines
compared
to
the
333
originally
foreseen,
and
will
move
its
near-shore
boundary
3km
further
from
the
Dorset
towns
of
Bournemouth,
Christchurch
and
Poole.
The
project’s
maximum
capacity
will
fall
to
1.1GW
from
1.2GW.
A
statement
from
the
developer
says:
“Navitus
Bay
has
narrowed
the
size
of
turbine
options
being
considered,
meaning
that
fewer
would
be
built.
“This
also
means
that
the
largest
turbines
will
now
be
smaller
than
previously
proposed,
with
a
maximum
height
of
200
metres
rather
than
210.”
