The Crown Estate has signed lease agreements for six offshore wind farms that could potentially power seven million homes

The Crown owns all mineral rights in England and Wales

They are expected to generate 2.8GW of electricity in total – enough to power around two million homes in Scotland

They will work together to identify the steel components that could be supplied from Tata Steel in floating wind technologies for gigawatt-scale projects in the Celtic Sea
