Good afternoon
We are writing to inform you that a non-statutory consultation for the proposed Dogger Bank D Offshore Wind Farm Project is open from Tuesday 10 September until midnight on Tuesday 22 October.
Dogger Bank D is a new fourth phase of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm, the world’s largest offshore wind farm. With a generation capacity of over 100MW, Dogger Bank D and its related infrastructure have been designated as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project under the Planning Act 2008 (the Act) and approval will be sought for a Development Consent Order from the Secretary of State. The Act requires that applications for development consent follow a strict statutory process.
As part of this process, we will consult with the local community, stakeholders who are prescribed consultees under Section 42 of the Act and those who may have an interest in land potentially affected by Dogger Bank D.
We are reaching out to you because we have identified you as a stakeholder prescribed under Section 42 of the Act.
Project overview
This project could involve the installation of up to 113 turbines, depending on the selected turbine size, located approximately 210km off the Yorkshire coast at the closest point to shore.
While the project is still in its early stages, we have begun identifying potential corridors for underground cables that will bring the electricity from a landfall point southeast of Skipsea and possible locations for a converter station which will connect to a new substation at Birkhill Wood, situated between Beverley and Cottingham. Please note that the development of this new substation does not form part of our project proposals and will be developed and consulted on separately by National Grid.
Consultation overview
The consultation period will begin on Tuesday 10 September, and will close at midnight on Tuesday 22 October 2024.
You can view all of our consultation materials, complete a survey online and access an interactive map at: www.doggerbankd.com/consultation
These materials provide details about both our onshore and offshore proposals, including potential corridors for underground cables that will bring the electricity from the landfall point to connect into the UK power grid.
Come and meet us: in-person events and online webinar
We invite you to join us at one of our eight information events where you can meet our team, find out more and take away materials. These events will provide an opportunity for you to share your input and thoughts about the proposals.
