Dogger Bank Wind Farm, the 50:50 joint venture of Equinor and SSE Renewables, has finalised contracts with GE Renewable Energy to supply a total of 190 units of the 13 MW Haliade-X wind turbine for the Dogger Bank offshore wind project in the United Kingdom. The two phases will each include 95 wind turbines for a maximum capacity of 1,235 MW each. In addition, the deal includes a five-year service and warranty agreement to provide operational support for the wind turbines.
Equinor and SSE Renewables plan to take the final investment decision (FID) on the Dogger Bank offshore wind project phase 1 (1,200 MW Creyke Beck A) and 2 (1,200 MW Creyke Beck B) by the end of 2020. FID on phase 3 (1,200 MW Teesside A) is scheduled in 2021. Total investments in the project reach £9bn (€10.1bn). The projects were awarded 15-year Contracts for Difference (CfDs) in the September 2019 allocation round, with a clearing price of £39.65/MWh (about €48.75/MWh) for Creyke Beck A and £41.61/ MWh (around €51.15/MWh) for the Creyke Beck B and the Teesside A projects (all in 2012 real prices). In January 2020, Dogger Bank Wind Farms started preliminary construction on the 3.6 GW Dogger Bank offshore wind projects near Ulrome, in Yorkshire. Works include the installation of the onshore cable infrastructure for the Creyke Beck A and Creyke Beck B, and at the onshore HVDC converter station locations in East Riding. The first phase, Dogger Bank A, is expected to be operational in 2023, and the entire project should be operational in 2026.
