Dengie Marshes Wind Farm

Proposals

generating circa 120 MW, enough to power 100,000 homes – equivalent to all the homes in Maldon District Council three times over

Making significant contributions through a community benefit fund of up to £600,000 per annum, and a significant business rate contribution

Potential for discounted electricity within the host communities

Producing clean, homegrown power to keep the UK’s energy supply secure

Our emerging proposal includes:

  • Wind Turbines: up to 17 turbines with a maximum height of 225m to blade tip.
  • Battery Energy Storage System (BESS): to ensure grid stability by storing energy for peak periods and balancing the grid.
  • Supporting infrastructure: such as access tracks, crane pads, underground cables, drainage systems, and a substation.
  • Grid Connection: underground electricity cables will connect the site to the existing substation at Rayleigh. These will be installed by the Distribution Network Operator and are not part of the planning application.
  • Areas for biodiversity net gain and ecological enhancements, to provide on-site benefits to the local environment.
