Dogger Bank C to provide reactive power in UK
Dogger Bank Wind Farm has secured a UK power first by becoming the first offshore wind farm project to win a tender from National Grid ESO to provide reactive power capability.
The contract will help deliver a greener grid, maintain a stable voltage power supply, and help drive down UK consumer costs by millions of pounds. Located off the northeast coast of England, Dogger Bank Wind Farm is being built in three 1.2 GW phases and will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world once operational.
The wind farm is a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor and Eni. SSE Renewables is leading the development and construction of the project while Equinor will operate the wind farm on completion for its expected operational life of around 35 years.
