SSE PLC and Equinor ASA said Tuesday that they have ordered 190
wind turbines from GE Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of General
Electric Co., to be installed at the U.K.'s Dogger Bank offshore
wind farm project.
The FTSE 100 energy company said the deal is subject to the
first two phases of Dogger Bank reaching financial close. Turbine
installation is due to begin in 2023. This is the first time the
13-megawatt Haliade-X turbines will be installed globally, SSE
said.
GE will use the Able Seaton Port in Hartlepool as base for the
delivery of the projects, and this will lead to the creation of 120
new skilled jobs during the construction phase.
Based in the North Sea off the east coast of England, Dogger
Bank is the world's largest offshore wind farm under development.
It will be constructed in three phases, with a combined generation
capacity of up to 3.6 gigawatts. SSE has a 50% interest in the
project, with the other half belonging to Equinor.
