Dogger Bank A Offshore Wind Farm
Dogger Bank A Offshore Wind Farm is a 1.2 GW offshore wind farm located between 130 and 190 km off the north-east coast of England in the North Sea. It forms the first phase of the wider Dogger Bank Wind Farm development, which comprises three 1.2 GW phases known as Dogger Bank A, B and C. Collectively, the 3.6 GW project is expected to become the world's largest offshore wind farm when fully operational, capable of generating enough electricity to power around six million UK homes.
Developed by a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor and Vårgrønn, Dogger Bank A connects to the national electricity network via the Creyke Beck substation near Cottingham in East Yorkshire. The project uses GE Vernova Haliade-X turbines and was the first UK offshore wind farm to export electricity using a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system.
Dogger Bank A produced electricity for the first time in October 2023 and entered commercial operation in 2025. Located on the Dogger Bank sandbank in the North Sea, the project plays a key role in increasing the UK's renewable energy capacity and supporting the transition towards a low-carbon electricity system.
