- Dogger Bank is a cluster of offshore wind farms 130-200 km off Yorkshire in the North Sea, described as the world's largest offshore wind farm; the SSE/Equinor/Vaargronn phases A, B and C are 1.2 GW each, 3.6 GW combined[1][2][3]
- Ownership: SSE (40%), Equinor (40%) and Vaargronn (20%); SSE leads construction and Equinor operates for up to 35 years; the first electricity was generated in October 2023[1][2][3]
- Status per Wikipedia: all 95 turbines installed at Dogger Bank A by February 2026, B expected complete in 2027 (33 of 95 installed by 27 July 2026), and C had 58 of 87 inter-array cables installed[1]
- Sofia (Innogy/RWE, 100 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW turbines) started generating on 16 August 2026[1]; with Sofia the A, B, C and Sofia farms are expected to produce 5 GW, plus 3 GW at Dogger Bank South due 2030/2031, for about 8.1 GW overall[1]
- Turbines are GE Haliade-X units installed by the vessel Voltaire; the project brought the first UK offshore wind HVDC connection and over 2,000 UK jobs[2][3]
