Masdar and RWE Advances Seabed Site Investigations of Dogger Bank South Offshore Wind Project

Masdar and RWE have awarded geo-data specialist Fugro a contract to undertake geotechnical surveys on the site of the Dogger Bank South (DBS) West offshore wind farm. The project, split across two separate sites, DBS East and DBS West, each with a capacity of 1.5 GW, spans 500 square kilometers and is anticipated to generate electricity for three million typical UK homes.

Fugro's vessels—Fugro Quest, Fugro Voyager, and Normand Mermaid—will conduct ground surveys from May to October 2024, employing various techniques to assess seabed conditions. This extensive geotechnical campaign is crucial for informing the project's final design and engineering.

The next development milestone for the projects will be the submission of applications for development consent orders, expected to be during the second quarter of 2024. If successful, the next steps would be to secure Contracts for Difference (CfD), followed by financing, construction, and finally commissioning by 2031.

Dogger Bank South is poised to become one of the world's largest offshore wind farms, creating 2,000 construction jobs and sustaining over 1,000 direct and indirect positions during operation. These employment opportunities will significantly impact the local economy. for further details about the Dogger Bank project, check out our project profile.
