Dogger Bank Wind Farm is scheduled to have a power generation capacity of 3.6 GW upon entering full commercial operation in 2026, making it the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
Furthermore, the Dogger Bank Wind Farm is located approximately 130 kilometers off the coast of Yorkshire, England, in the North Sea.
The wind farm comprises of three distinct sections, Dogger Bank A, B and C, each scheduled to produce 1.2 GW of clean energy.
When complete, the Dogger Bank farm will have a total of 277 Haliade-X 13MW turbines, producing 13 MW each, and a combined total of 5% of the UK’s needs.
This means that one rotation of each turbine’s massive 107-meter-long blades will be enough to power an average British home for two days, while the farm’s total output will be capable of providing energy to about 6 million such British homes annually.
It was announced on October 10, that the farm’s first installed turbine started producing power over the past weekend, which was transferred to the grid through a high-voltage direct current transmission system (HVDC), while it is worth mentioning that it was the first time a HVDC system was used in the UK.
Finally, a fourth phase of the farm, named Dogger Bank D, has been proposed.
