Statoil and Statkraft have decided to start building the Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm off the coast of Norfolk, in the United Kingdom. The project will consist in 67 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 6 MW, totalling 402 MW installed generation capacity. The annual energy production is estimated to be 1.7 TWh. The Dudgeon development will now move into a new phase, starting with construction of onshore cables and an onshore substation. Offshore construction will start in 2016 and the project should be commissioned in 2017. Statoil is the operator of the Dudgeon Offshore Wind Project. Total investment is estimated at £1.5bn (€1.875bn), of which £550m (€687m) will be financed by Statoil (36.67% ownership, to be finalised).
