The first turbine has now been installed at Dogger Bank B, the second 1.2 GW stage of the UK’s 3.6 GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm.

A Notice to Mariners dated 2 March said the wind turbine installation vessel Voltaire remains active inside the array area, while the commissioning service operation vessel IWS Skywalker is on site providing construction support.

Jan De Nul’s Voltaire finished installing turbines at Dogger Bank A in the second half of February and then moved straight to begin the same activity at Dogger Bank B.

Dogger Bank B will be fitted with 95 GE Haliade-X turbines rated at 13 MW each, with installation expected to run until approximately the second quarter of 2027.

Across Dogger Bank A, B and C, all 277 foundations are already in place, and inter-array cable work has been completed on the first two phases. Dogger Bank C is set to use 87 GE Haliade-X turbines at 14 MW.

The project is owned by SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Vårgrønn, which are also planning Dogger Bank D as the fourth phase of the development.
