Controversy level
- The Crown Estate faced a Greenpeace UK pre-action legal warning issued October 13, 2025 accusing it of "monopoly profiteering" from its uncapped competitive seabed-leasing auctions, Greenpeace argues the Round 4 shift (concluded January 2023) to price-uncapped option fees generated over GBP 1 billion in 2024/25 while inflating offshore-wind project costs and consumer energy bills, and is demanding an independent review and reinvestment of excess profits into marine recovery, with the Crown Estate's managers responding that their legal duty is to maximize profit rather than deliver government climate targets.
