All inter-array cables at the first 1.2 GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm phase, Dogger Bank A, were installed last year , while the work on Dogger Bank B inter-array connections is still underway with post-lay burial and testing and termination.
Construction work on Dogger Bank C started earlier this year with the installation of the first monopiles by Seaway7’s Seaway Strashnov.
The offshore substation for the third phase was installed this May by Heerema Marine Contractors’ semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV) Sleipnir.
The first two 1.2 GW phases of the 3.6 GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm will feature GE Vernova’s Haliade-X 13 MW turbines, while Dogger Bank C will comprise 87 Haliade-X 14 MW turbines.
Dogger Bank Wind Farm is owned by SSE Renewables (40%), Equinor (40%), and Vårgrønn (20%).
With an installed capacity of 3.6 GW, the project is currently the world’s largest offshore wind farm under construction, and it may become even larger as the developer plans to build Dogger Bank D, a fourth phase that could bring the total project capacity to 5.6 GW.
