Substantial investment of approximately £1 million funneled into conceptualizing offshore wind farm projects
As the offshore wind farm project in Jersey's territorial waters continues to progress, here's a summary of the latest developments:
The wind farm project has been allocated a total budget of £500,000 for this year and next. As of 7 August 2025, £368,497 has been spent this year, with an additional £250k allocated for next year. If the draft government Budget is approved, an additional £250,000 will be allocated to the project from the Climate Emergency Fund next year.
In 2024, £383,668 was spent from the dedicated budget for the wind farm project. The annual figures include the cost of consultants and other expert advisors for the project. In 2023, £189,376 was spent on the project from the Climate Emergency Fund policy development budget.
In April 2022, the States Assembly approved a proposition to progress the next stage of the wind farm project. Deputy Steve Luce plans to bring his recommendation to the States Assembly in November, intending to give Members adequate time to consider the recommendation. A debate on the wind farm project will be scheduled for January 2026.
It's worth noting that there is no publicly available specific information indicating who has funded the research and development of the offshore wind farm in the territorial waters of Jersey or the sources of its funds in the provided search results.
The Carbon Neutral Roadmap, agreed in 2022, includes proposals for examining renewable energy options in Jersey. The wind farm project aligns with this roadmap's objectives, aiming to contribute to Jersey's transition towards a more sustainable energy future.
As of now, approximately £1m has been spent on the project. The wind farm project is a significant step towards Jersey's renewable energy goals, and updates on its progress will be shared as they become available.
