Voltaire to install Dogger Bank wind turbines

Dogger Bank Wind Farm has hired Jan De Nul Group to transport and install 87 GE Haliade-X 14-MW offshore wind turbines at Dogger Bank C in the UK North Sea.

The contract is subject to Dogger Bank C reaching financial close in late 2021.

This is the third Dogger Bank package awarded to Jan De Nul. Its newest jack-up vessel Voltaire will install 277 wind turbines at what is set to be the world’s largest offshore wind farm when complete.

Located up to 200 km (124 miles) off the Yorkshire coast, the 3.6-GW Dogger Bank wind farm is being delivered in three 1.2-GW phases.

The first two phases, Dogger Bank A and B, will each feature 95 units of 13-MW turbines. They are a joint venture between Equinor (40%), SSE Renewables (40%), and Eni (20%).

The third phase, Dogger Bank C, is being developed on a different timescale and is owned by SSE Renewables (50%) and Equinor (50%).

SSE Renewables is leading the development and construction phases of the Dogger Bank wind farm and Equinor will lead on operations for its lifetime of up to 35 years.

When complete, Dogger Bank is expected to power more than six million UK homes every year.
