On 9 February 2024, the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero granted Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm Project 1 Projco Ltd an extension to the commissioning period for the Dogger Bank A offshore transmission assets, allowing the generator to continue transmitting electricity without holding a separate transmission licence until 9 February 2025. The time‑limited extension, lasting ten months and ten days, was justified by unforeseen and significant technical issues, including multiple turbine blade failures that delayed turbine commissioning and, in turn, testing of the offshore transmission system ahead of transfer to an independent OFTO.
