Soon after installing the first of 277 wind turbines, this first turbine has produced first power.
The installation and first power of the first GE Haliade-X turbine at Dogger Bank A was confirmed today.
The turbine blades tips reach 260 meters above sea level; the same height as New York’s iconic Rockefeller Centre. Each blade is 107 meters long.
Project Director for Dogger Bank, Olly Cass said: “The installation of the first turbine at Dogger Bank A is an important moment for our workforce, our suppliers and of course our project partners on the path to first power which will be a landmark moment as we start to generate electricity for the first time. Dogger Bank is a major infrastructure project which is benefitting the economy as well as supporting the UK’s future energy security and making a major contribution to the UK’s ambitious Net Zero targets.”
