According to CNBC, the world’s largest offshore wind farm project made important progress last weekend and successfully generated electricity

The worlds largest offshore wind farm begins generating electricity, capable of powering 6 million homes per year

Located in northeastern England The wind farm project in the North Sea is named "Dogger Bank" and will be developed in three phases (A, B, C). When completed, the total installed capacity will reach 3.6 gigawatts. The project is also planned for a fourth phase of development, called Dogger Bank D Started turning and generating electricity at 8.37pm on Saturday (October 7). Power from the first offshore wind turbine is now transmitted to the UK's national grid via Dogger Bank's high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system, marking a milestone for UK wind power This is the first time that HVDC technology has been used in the field."

The scale of this project is quite large and will be able to provide electricity to up to 6 million households per year

. Dogger Bank uses GE Vernova’s giant Haliade-X wind turbines with blades measuring 107 meters in length. Dogger Bank is a joint venture project jointly invested and constructed by SSE Renewables, Equinor and Vårgrønn, which hold 40%, 40% and 20% of the shares respectively

SSE CEO Alistair Phillips-Davies said in a statement that Dogger Bank will have a significant impact on the UK’s energy security, affordability and leadership on climate change and is exactly the right way to tackle the energy crisis

Equinor It is a Norwegian company best known for producing oil and gas and is also involved in wind energy projects like Dogger Bank and Hywind Tampen.

The UK's offshore wind energy industry is well established because the country has a range of favorable conditions, such as good wind speeds, a long coastline and a relatively shallow seabed

within British waters Major offshore wind farms include Hornsea 2, a fully operational facility with 165 wind turbines and an installed capacity of over 1.3 gigawatts, which Danish energy company Orsted has described as “the largest installed wind farm in the world” ".

While those involved in the Dogger Bank project have repeatedly called it "the world's largest offshore wind farm," the project's statement on Monday also called it "the world's largest offshore wind farm under construction." Hint that there's still a lot of work to be done before it's complete.

This site has noticed that last month, my country’s world’s largest offshore wind farm with single-machine capacity, the Three Gorges Pingtan offshore wind farm project, was connected to the grid at full capacity to generate electricity.
