The three-phase 3.6 GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm is being built in UK waters some 130 kilometers off the coast of Yorkshire.
The construction of Dogger Bank A is underway with the project in the wind turbine installation stage and already having produced first power . However, the project is now expected to be put into full operation in 2025 instead of this year , as originally planned, as the challenging weather conditions had impacted wind turbine installation, and vessel availability and supply chain delays further impacted progress, according to SSE’s third-quarter trading update from February.
Dogger Bank B is expected to be fully operational in 2025 and Dogger Bank C in 2026.
The Dogger Bank Wind Farm is owned by SSE Renewables (40%), Equinor (40%), and Vårgrønn (20%). SSE and Equinor are also planning to add a fourth phase , Dogger Bank D, to what will already be the world’s largest offshore wind farm. This part of the project is still in the planning and development stage.
