Details

On 4 August 2015 the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change granted consent for the Dogger Bank Teesside A and B Offshore Wind Farm Order 2015 (“the Order”) which included in Schedule 9 (generation assets) and Schedule 11 (Transmission assets) two deemed marine licences (DMLs) in accordance with Section 149 of the Planning Act 2008. Following the grant of the 2015 Order, in August 2017, the project was split. Dogger Bank Teesside A (“Teesside A”) is now owned under a new consortium, Doggerbank Offshore Wind Farm Project 3 Projco Limited (“Project 3 Projco”); and Dogger Bank Teesside B (“Teesside B”) is owned by Innogy under a new subsidiary, the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm Limited (“the Applicant”). Teesside B has been renamed as Sofia Offshore Wind Farm and has the benefit of the development consent. The pre-application, examination and DCO documents can be found on the Planning Inspectorate’s website.

The DCO authorises Forewind Limited to construct and operate up to two offshore wind farms each with an installed capacity of 1.2GW, situated between 125km and 290km off the North East Coast in the North Sea. The development will comprise of:

  • up to 400 wind turbine generators (200 in each array);
  • up to 8 offshore collector platforms;
  • up to 2 convertor stations;
  • up to 4 accommodation or helicopter platforms;
  • up to 10 metrological stations;
  • up to 2 sets of export cables to connect the arrays to a coastal landing point between Redcar and Marske-By-The-Sea, in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland; and
  • onshore associated development, including underground cabling and up to 2 convertor stations.

On 15 June 2018, the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) received requests from Innology Renewables UK Limited to vary the Deemed Marine Licence (DML) contained within Schedules 9 and 11 of the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm Order 2015. The HRA carried out by Buisness, Energy & Industry Strategy (BEIS) was approved on 26 March 2019 and was adopted by the MMO for assessing this variation. The HRA can be found on the PINS website

The MMO’s decision was to vary the DML as detailed in the Notice of Variation, effective from 25 April 2019.
