The proposed wind farm would be located off the Dorset and Hampshire coast and to the west of the Isle of Wight.
Eneco Wind UK Ltd (Eneco) and EDF Energy, which will install the turbines, claim the scheme could generate enough electricity for the domestic needs of 790,000 average UK households.
A planning application will be made in February 2014. Construction could start in 2017 with the first wind turbines generating energy by 2020.
