The developer behind two of the three new offshore wind farms that now have lease agreements off the region’s coastline has given further details on the dual project.
RWE is behind Dogger Bank South, with East and West sites now agreed off the North Yorkshire coast with The Crown Estate. Both will have a 1.5GW capacity, slightly higher than the current neighbouring world leader, Hornsea Two, providing the ability to generate enough electricity for three million homes.
Located south of the Sofia project it is currently developing, for which operations and maintenance are to be based in Grimsby, the latest addition to its portfolio that includes Triton Knoll and Humber Gateway is highly likely to follow suit.
