Statkraft Exits Ownership of Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Project

Former partners Statoil and SSE both took half of the shares increasing their own assets to 37.5% each. The other 25% belong to Innogy.

The Dogger Bank offshore wind project consists of four smaller wind farms adding up to a 4.8 GW mega offshore wind farm. The projects are located in the North Sea off the east coast of England.

Mike Seaton, Director of Development (Wholesale) SSE said: “This acquisition represents the next step in the development of the Dogger Bank Offshore Wind development, SSE will continue to work alongside the remaining partners in the Forewind consortium to progress these projects.”

Statkraft wants to continue participating in offshore wind as an enabler of the development and operation of projects through entering into power purchase agreements.
