STAVANGER, Norway – SSE Renewables and Equinor have selected GE Renewable Energy as the preferred turbine supplier for the Dogger Bank C offshore wind farm in the UK North Sea.
This project will mark the debut of the 14-MW Haliade-X turbine. The 248-m (814-ft) high turbine features a 220-m (722-ft) rotor and 107-m (351-ft) long blades.
The turbine supply agreement and service and warranty agreements for Dogger Bank C are expected to be finalized in 1Q 2021. These agreements will be subject to the Dogger Bank C joint venture reaching financial close in late 2021.
Installation of the turbines for Dogger Bank C is set to begin in 2025 ahead of completion of the overall project in 2026.
At 3.6-GW Dogger Bank is expected to be the largest wind farm in the world, capable of generating enough renewable power to provide around 5% of the UK’s electricity demand. It is being built in three 1.2-GW phases: Dogger Bank A, B, and C.
GE is now confirmed as supplying Haliade-X turbine technology to all three phases of the Dogger Bank wind farm including 190 units of the company’s 13-MW Haliade-X for phases A and B.
