More Than Half of Dogger Bank a Wind Turbines Now in Place

The Dogger Bank A phase of the UK’s 3.6 GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm has reached a milestone, with over half of its wind turbines installed. As of April 28, 2025, 52 of the 95 planned GE Haliade-X 13 MW turbines are in place, according to a project update. The wind farm, located in the North Sea, is a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Vårgrønn.

Jan De Nul Group’s vessel Voltaire began installing the first turbines at Dogger Bank A in August 2023 and will continue this work until approximately the fourth quarter of 2025. All monopiles and transition pieces for this phase are already installed. A company representative stated: “Jan De Nul’s vessel Voltaire installed the first turbines at the Dogger Bank A site in August 2023.”

SSE Renewables announced in October 2024 that Dogger Bank A is expected to be fully completed in the second half of 2025. The project is part of the larger Dogger Bank Wind Farm, which includes three phases: Dogger Bank A, B, and C, each contributing to the total 3.6 GW capacity.

For the other phases, Seaway7’s vessel Seaway Strashnov has recently started installing monopiles for Dogger Bank C, which has a capacity of 1.2 GW. Sif and Smulders are supplying monopiles and transition pieces for all three phases. Dogger Bank A and B will each feature 95 Haliade-X 13 MW turbines, while Dogger Bank C will include 87 Haliade-X 14 MW turbines.

The Dogger Bank Wind Farm is a significant renewable energy project, contributing to the UK’s clean energy goals. “All monopiles and transition pieces are already in place,” the project update noted, highlighting progress in the installation process. The ongoing work by Jan De Nul Group and Seaway7 ensures steady advancement across the phases, supporting the delivery of sustainable energy to the region.

This development strengthens the UK’s offshore wind capacity, with Dogger Bank A on track to begin operations as part of the broader wind farm’s contribution to renewable energy production.
