RWE, Masdar secure UK consent for 3GW Dogger Bank South projects


RWE and Masdar have secured Development Consent Orders for the 3GW Dogger Bank South offshore wind projects in the UK, clearing a key permitting hurdle after the projects secured Contracts for Difference earlier this year.

The Dogger Bank South East and West projects, located more than 100km off northeast England, each have planned capacity of 1.5GW.

RWE Offshore Wind CEO Sven Utermöhlen said the projects are now moving into the final design phase and toward final investment decision.

First power is targeted for 2030, with full commissioning expected in 2031-32.

RWE also said the 1GW North Falls offshore wind project, a joint venture with SSE Renewables, received planning consent the same day and will target a future UK CfD round.
