RWE Renewables is developing the 1.4-GW Sofia offshore wind farm, 220 km (137 mi) off the coast of Redcar, Teeside, on the shallow central area known as Dogger Bank in the North Sea.
Sembcorp Marine, in consortium with GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions, received an EPCI contract for the HVDC electrical system works for the project, which includes an onshore converter station and an offshore converter platform.
The project is expected to be completed by 4Q 2026 and provide power for about 1.2 million UK homes.
