Public invited to have say on Dogger Bank D OWF

Wind Energy – Dogger Bank D

The public is invited to share their opinions on plans for the Dogger Bank D offshore wind farm project, which is proposed as the fourth phase of the 3.6 GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm currently under construction.

Dogger Bank D is a proposed project in the North Sea, which would be located around 210km off the coast of England. Now, 50:50 joint venture developers SSE Renewables and Equinor are inviting community members and stakeholders to have their say on proposals for the project, as part of a Statutory Consultation.

This round of consultation will outline offshore and onshore proposals for Dogger Bank D as well as outcomes of preliminary environmental assessments.

The proposals include plans for offshore infrastructure for renewable electricity generation as well as offshore and onshore infrastructure for transmission of the electricity generated by the wind farm.

Out at sea, the project proposes an offshore wind farm array covering a site of 262 km2 with up to 113 installed offshore wind turbines. Each turbine would be installed on a fixed bottom foundation.

The offshore application also proposes up to two offshore platforms, as well as associated export and inter-array subsea cabling that would export power from the offshore wind farm to Britain’s national grid at a landfall point near Skipsea, in East Riding of Yorkshire.

From the Skipsea landfall, underground cables would transmit renewable power along a 55-kilometre route to an onshore converter station near to a new onshore substation being developed by National Grid Electricity Transmission near Cottingham, north of Hull, called Birkhill Wood.

The project is also proposing potential plans to co-locate Energy Storage and Balancing Infrastructure at the site of the proposed onshore converter station.

These latest proposals for Dogger Bank D follow extensive environmental studies and feedback received from earlier stages of engagement.

The Statutory Consultation opened on Tuesday 10 June. Feedback from the consultation, which comprises six local in-person events and two online sessions, will be gathered over an eight-week period ahead of the consultation closing on Tuesday 5 August.

Developers SSE Renewables and Equinor will use this feedback to help inform a final application for a Development Consent Order for up to 1.5GW of installed offshore wind capacity at Dogger Bank D.
