Jan De Nul signs deal for Dogger Bank C turbine construction

Dogger Bank Wind Farm and Jan De Nul Group have signed the final contract for the transport and installation of 87 GE Haliade-X 14 MW offshore wind turbines. Dogger Bank C at up to 200 km off the Yorkshire coast is the third Dogger Bank Wind Farm package awarded to Jan De Nul. Following the signature of packages A and B, this will bring the total WTGs to be installed to 277 units.

For the delivery and installation of the 14 MW turbines, Jan De Nul Group will mobilize its newest NextGen Offshore Jack-Up Installation Vessel Voltaire, turning this project into her first assignment. The contract is subject to Dogger Bank C reaching Financial Close in late 2021.

The 3.6 GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm, which is being delivered in the North Sea in three 1.2 GW phases, is set to be the world’s largest offshore wind farm when complete. 

The first two phases, Dogger Bank A and B, each feature 95 units of 13 MW turbines. They are a joint venture between Equinor (40%), SSE Renewables (40%), and Eni (20%). The third phase, Dogger Bank C, is being developed on a different timescale and is owned by SSE Renewables (50%) and Equinor (50%).

SSE Renewables is leading the development and construction phases of Dogger Bank Wind Farm and Equinor will lead on operations for its lifetime of up to 35 years.
