Norwegian seismic firm TGS has started detailed seabed geophysical surveys for the eastern array of the proposed Dogger Bank South offshore wind farms for RWE and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company - Masdar.
The site investigations will enhance understanding of the seabed conditions over 122 km off the northeast coast of England.
TGS started the surveys in April, acquiring ultra-high resolution 3D (UHR3D) seismic data to assess the subsea terrain at turbine locations.
Dogger Bank South consists of two offshore wind farms with a combined capacity of 3 GW. RWE leads both projects, overseeing development, construction, and operations on behalf of partners RWE and Masdar.
At 3 GW, the projects are the U.K.'s most powerful offshore wind farms under development.
They are currently advancing through the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) planning process, with a consent decision anticipated by the end of the year.
If approved, and following a Financial Investment Decision (FID), construction could commence in 2026/27, with first power generation expected to contribute to the U.K. government’s target of 60 GW of offshore wind by 2030, and full completion by 2031/32.
