Dogger Bank offshore wind farm will provide clean energy to 6 million British homes yearly it is anticipated.

The project is being developed in three phases, Dogger Bank A, B and C, located between 130 km and 190 km off the north-east coast of England.

Here are the key facts about Dogger Bank:

• Scale and Capacity: The Dogger Bank wind farm is one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. With three phases—Dogger Bank A, B, and C—it covers a substantial area and has a combined capacity to provide clean energy to approximately 6 million British homes annually.

• Location: The wind farm is strategically located between 130 km and 190 km off the north-east coast of England. This location takes advantage of the strong and consistent winds in the North Sea, making it an ideal site for harnessing wind energy.

• Development Phases: Each phase of the project represents a significant step in the overall development. Sarens, a global leader in heavy lifting and crane rental solutions, is contributing its expertise to the construction of Dogger Bank C.

• Connection and Substation: The electricity generated by Dogger Bank C will be connected to the existing Lackenby substation on Teesside. This integration into the existing infrastructure is crucial for efficiently distributing the clean energy to the grid.

• Timeline: The Dogger Bank C phase is expected to begin power generation in 2025, with the entire wind farm becoming fully operational in 2026. The estimated lifetime of the Dogger Bank C phase is around 35 years, ensuring long-term clean energy generation.

• Environmental Impact: In addition to providing a substantial amount of clean energy, offshore wind farms like Dogger Bank contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating climate change, and promoting sustainability.
