The Crown Estate

The Crown Estate signed a marine lease with SSE Renewables and Equinor for the fourth phase of the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm (Dogger Bank D). The lease granted rights to use a new portion of seabed to progress the project, following a statutory consultation and habitat assessment, and included mandatory environmental measures under The Crown Estate’s capacity building programme for marine projects. The lease was part of the early-stage consenting and development pathway ahead of the project’s Development Consent Order application and final investment decision.
