Turbine Installation Start

The Weekly Notice of Operations for the Dogger Bank B Offshore Wind Farm, issued on 20 April 2026, confirms that the wind turbine generator (WTG) installation campaign is underway, with works having commenced in February 2026. The jack-up WTG Installation Vessel Voltaire is identified as the dedicated installation vessel and is stated to “continue installation of wind turbine generators (WTG) within the Dogger Bank B construction area,” implying that offshore turbine installation began earlier in the year and is now progressing on site. The notice specifies that the WTG works, which started in February 2026, are being carried out on a continuous, 24‑hour‑a‑day basis for the duration of the installation campaign. This turbine installation phase follows earlier offshore construction activities at Dogger Bank B, where all monopile and transition piece (MP/TP) foundations in the construction site have already been installed, and all inter‑array cables have been laid, buried and terminated. The document presents an installation progress table listing individual WTG locations and indicating where turbines have already been installed, demonstrating that multiple positions are now transitioning from foundation‑only to fully equipped turbine status. Overall, the notice situates the February 2026 start of WTG installation as a major construction milestone for Dogger Bank B, the second stage of the wider Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Project developed by SSE, Equinor and Vårgrønn, with a consented capacity of up to 1.2 GW.
