GE signs contract for 1.2 GW Dogger Bank C offshore wind project (UK)

GE Renewable Energy has finalised the Turbine Supply and Service and Warranty contracts for the 1,200 MW Dogger Bank C offshore wind project located 130 km off the north-east coast of England (United Kingdom). The 3,600 MW Dogger Bank offshore wind project is developed in three 1,200 MW phases by SSE (50% in Dogger Bank C, and 40% in Dogger Bank A & B), Equinor (50% in Dogger Bank C, and 40% in Dogger Bank A & B), and Eni (20% in Dogger Bank A & B). Under the terms of the contracts, which are subject to financial close (expected in late 2021), GE will supply 87 wind turbines rated 14 MW each for the third phase of the Dogger Bank project. Turbine installations will start in 2025 and the project should be completed in 2026. Overall, GE will supply 227 of its Haliade-X turbine to the three phases of Dogger Bank, which will become one of the largest offshore wind projects worldwide when completed (3.6 GW).
