What this site sits on
- Special Area of Conservation — Southern North Sea
REPD gives one representative coordinate per scheme, not the site boundary, so this describes the point on record rather than the whole site — a large site can straddle a designation edge. Boundaries come from planning.data.gov.uk, which publishes for England only.
How big is Hornsea 2 - Optimus and Breesea?
Hornsea 2 - Optimus and Breesea has a recorded installed capacity of 1.32 GW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.
Who operates Hornsea 2 - Optimus and Breesea?
REPD records the operator as Orsted (formerly Dong Energy). Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.
