Name of the Project
Dogger Bank Wind Farm.
Location
Each phase of the project will be located at least 130 km off the north-east coast of England, in the UK.
Dogger Bank C will connect to the national grid at the existing Lackenby substation, in Teesside.
Project Owner/s
SSE Renewables and Equinor each have a 50% share.
Project Description
Dogger Bank is the world’s biggest offshore wind farm under development. When complete, it will be able to provide electricity for more than 4.5-million UK homes – about 5% of the UK’s electricity demand – using renewable electricity from the wind.
The wind farm will be constructed in three phases – Dogger Bank A (previously known as Creyke Beck A), Dogger Bank B (previously known as Creyke Beck B) and Dogger Bank C (previously known as Teesside A).
Each phase will have an installed generation capacity of up to 1.2 GW, providing a combined installed capacity of up to 3.6 GW.
Each project is expected to generate about 6 TWh/y of electricity.
innogy has taken full ownership of the project previously known as Teesside B, which has since been renamed Sofia Offshore Wind Farm.
Potential Job Creation
To date, 320 jobs have been created at the project.
Capital Expenditure
The first phase will cost an estimated £9-billion to implement.
Planned Start/End Date
Consent for the project was granted in 2015.
Financial close on Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B is expected in late 2020, with financial close for Dogger Bank C expected in late 2021.
Turbine installation is scheduled to begin in 2023 at Dogger Bank A.
Dogger Bank A is expected to come into operation in 2023.
The project is expected to be completed in 2026.
