The offshore works are kicking off with a geophysical pre-lay survey along the Dogger Bank A export cable corridor in the Southern North Sea offshore the UK. The survey vessel Geo Ranger will conduct the survey between 28 March and approximately 15 April.
The geophysical survey includes the acquisition of high-resolution, hull mounted Multi Beam Echo Sounder (MBES) data and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) visual inspections of pipeline crossings and targets of potential interest.
The wind farm will comprise 277 GE Haliade-X 13 MW and GE Haliade-X 14 MW wind turbines scheduled to deliver the first electricity in 2023. Once fully commissioned in 2026, Dogger Bank will be capable of providing around five per cent of the UK’s electricity.
