SSE and Equinor submit scoping report for proposed Dogger Bank D wind farm

SSE and Equinor have submitted a Scoping Report to The Planning Inspectorate for the fourth phase of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm, known as Dogger Bank D. This report seeks a formal Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Scoping Opinion, which will outline the environmental topics to be assessed.

Dogger Bank D, a 50/50 joint venture between SSE Renewables and Equinor, aims to maximize capacity from the eastern part of the current Dogger Bank C site. If approved, the project will have an installed capacity of up to 2GW and connect to a new 400kV substation in East Riding of Yorkshire. The project is located approximately 210km off the northeast coast in the North Sea.

The Scoping Report follows the March 2024 publication of the Transitional Centralised Strategic Network Plan (tCSNP2) by National Grid ESO, confirming the connection point at Birkhill Wood. The current Dogger Bank Wind Farm, consisting of phases A, B, and C, is under construction and, once completed, will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm with a 3.6GW capacity.

Dogger Bank D is designated a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) due to its capacity exceeding 100MW. This designation requires an EIA for the project to submit a Development Consent Order (DCO) application.
Rob Cussons, Project Director for Dogger Bank D at SSE Renewables, highlighted the significance of the Scoping Report as a milestone in developing the offshore wind farm. A public consultation on the proposals for Dogger Bank D is scheduled for Autumn 2024.
