Offshore Construction Starts on World’s Largest Offshore Wind Farm

Located more than 130 kilometres off the North East Coast of England, SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Eni own Dogger Bank Wind Farm. SSE Renewables leads the construction and delivery of all three phases, while Equinor will operate the wind farm upon completion. The project will require an estimated total investment of around GBP 9 billion (EUR 10.57 billion), and NKT will deliver the export cables for all three phases. The scale and partners of the Offshore Wind Farm highlight its significance in the renewable energy sector.

Capacity and Impact

The wind farm will comprise 277 GE Haliade-X 13 MW and GE Haliade-X 14 MW wind turbines, which will deliver the first electricity in 2023. Once fully commissioned in 2026, Dogger Bank will be capable of providing around five per cent of the UK’s electricity. Ultimately, the Offshore Wind Farm will be one of the largest in the world, setting new industry standards.
