PPA signed for 1.2 GW Offshore wind farm in UK

SSE Renewables and Equinor, the joint venture partners co-developing the 3.6GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the North Sea, have announced that 15-year offtake Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have been signed for the third phase of the world’s largest offshore wind farm.

Separate PPAs for a total of 1.2GW for Dogger Bank C have been concluded with sponsor offtakers Danske Commodities (40% share) and also with external offtakers Centrica Energy Marketing and Trading (20% share) and Shell Energy Europe Limited (20% share). 

Dogger Bank Wind Farm will be constructed over 130km out to sea off the north-east coast of England, the Wind Farm is being built in three consecutive 1.2GW phases. Each phase is expected to generate around 6TWh of electricity annually, totaling 18TWh annually across all three phases – that’s enough renewable electricity to supply 5% of the UK’s demand and equivalent to powering six million UK homes.

Once the three phases are complete, which is expected by March 2026, Dogger Bank will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world.
