What is Dogger Bank wind farm?

Dogger Bank Wind Farm is an offshore wind farm being developed in three phases – Dogger Bank A, B and C – located between 130km and 190km from the North East coast of England at their nearest points. Collectively they will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm.

Where is Dogger Bank a and B being built?

Initial construction work on Dogger Bank A and B has begun along the onshore cable route in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The world’s largest offshore wind farm is once again benefiting from supply chain expertise in the north-east of England as it continues site preparation work for the installation of turbines in the North Sea.

When will the first phase of the Dogger Bank Open?

The first phase, Dogger Bank A, is expected to be operational in 2023. Offshore wind farms have two distinct offshore cable requirements, the first being the ‘inter-array’ cable network within the wind farm itself and the other being the subsea ‘export’ cables which take the generated electricity from the wind farm to shore.

What does the new deal with Dogger Bank mean for GE Renewable?

Under the new deal, GE Renewable Energy will supply Dogger Bank with its next generation of offshore technology, the ground-breaking Haliade-X turbine, bringing the world’s most powerful wind turbine to the world’s largest wind farm.
