SPIE subsidiary, SPIE Global Services Energy, has been awarded a significant contract by DEME for inter-array termination and testing on the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm project.

The contract was won by the company’s wind power high-voltage specialist entity, SPIE Wind Connect.

Under the deal, SPIE Wind Connect will carry out 66kV inter-array cable termination and testing on the remaining 87 wind turbine generators. This marks the final phase of the Dogger Bank project.

Scheduled for completion in 2026, Dogger Bank will be the world’s largest, with a total capacity of 3.6GW. The project is being delivered in three 1.2GW phases – Dogger Bank A and B, each with 95 turbines, and Dogger Bank C with 87 turbines.

SPIE Wind Connect has secured contracts from DEME to deliver inter-array cable termination and testing works across all three project phases.

Following successful awards for Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B, the company has now been entrusted with the final scope at Dogger Bank C.

The project is located more than 130km off the North-east coast of England in the North Sea.  Dogger Bank is a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Vårgrønn.

SSE Renewables is leading the construction part, while Equinor will operate the wind farm throughout its anticipated 35-year lifetime

When fully operational, Dogger Bank will be capable of supplying renewable electricity to six million UK homes.
