A further 1.3GW offshore wind farm is being proposed off the East Coast - with the potential to power green hydrogen production on the Humber.
Energy companies Equinor and SSE are behind the early scoping work to look at a fourth phase of Dogger Bank, one of the world’s leading zones. The plan is to connect to the grid off Lincolnshire, where new network infrastructure is being installed, or to feed into a clena fuel plant on the estuary, where the two companies are already collaborating on a series of decarbonisation projects.
Scores more jobs would be created in operations and maintenance, building on the hundreds set to be created in the North East, with Port of Tyne the location serving the zone.
