LUXEMBOURG – SSE Renewables and Equinor have contracted Jan De Nul Group to transport and install the GE Haliade-X wind turbines at Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B in the UK North Sea.
This will be the first assignment for Jan De Nul’s jackup installation vessel Voltaire. Installation is expected to start in 2023.
Located 130 km (81 mi) off the Yorkshire coast, Dogger Bank consists of three 1.2-GW phases: Dogger Bank A, Dogger Bank B, and Dogger Bank C. The final investment decision on Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B is expected in late 2020 and on Dogger Bank C in 2021.
SSE Renewables is leading the development and construction phases of the Dogger Bank wind farm. Equinor will lead on operations for its lifetime of at least 25 years.
When complete Dogger Bank is expected to be the world’s largest offshore wind farm and power more than 4.5 million homes every year – around 5% of the UK’s electricity needs.
