The 3.6 GW Dogger Bank offshore wind project (UK) enters construction

The first 1,200 MW phase (Phase A) of the Dogger Bank offshore wind project, located 130 km off the northeast coast of England (United Kingdom), has entered construction with a geophysical pre-lay survey along the export cable corridor. The 3,600 MW Dogger Bank offshore wind project is developed in three 1,200 MW phases, by SSE, Equinor and Eni. SSE and Equinor each own 40% in the three phases, with Eni holding 20% (Eni completed the acquisition of a 20% stake in Phase C from SSE and Equinor in February 2022). The total investment in the project will be around £9bn (€10.6bn) and the project will include 277 GE Haliade-X 13 MW and GE Haliade-X 14 MW wind turbines.  First power is scheduled for 2023. Once fully commissioned in 2026, it should become the largest offshore wind plant in the world.
