On 13 January 2025, through the Electricity (Individual Exemption from the Requirement for a Transmission Licence) (Dogger Bank A) Order 2025, Minister Shanks acting for the Secretary of State granted Dogger Bank Offshore Windfarm a time‑limited exemption from the requirement to hold a transmission licence for the Dogger Bank A offshore transmission assets. The exemption runs from the Order’s entry into force until the earlier of 19 December 2025 or transfer of the transmission assets to the preferred OFTO, ensuring the generator can lawfully transmit electricity during extended commissioning and the OFTO sale process following technical delays caused by turbine blade failures.
