Dogger Bank Wind Farms, a 50:50 joint venture of SSE Renewables and Equinor, has started preliminary construction on the 3.6 GW Dogger Bank offshore wind projects near Ulrome, in Yorkshire (United Kingdom). Works include the installation of the onshore cable infrastructure for the Creyke Beck A and Creyke Beck B, and at the onshore HVDC convertor station locations in East Riding. They are expected to be completed within 2 years.
The giant offshore wind complex will consist of three 1,200 MW wind parks, namely Creyke Beck A, Creyke Beck B and Teesside A, featuring GE's new Haliade-X turbines, rated 12 MW each. The projects were awarded 15-year Contracts for Difference (CfDs) in the latest allocation round in late September 2019, 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). First power generation is planned for 2023. The project could be expanded thereafter.
