UK | R4 Leases sealed for new generation of offshore wind arrays

Round 4 progress

Round 4’s winners include BP in conjunction with German utility partner EnBW and fellow oil supermajor TotalEnergies.

The leasing round confirmed the shallow Dogger Bank region in the North Sea off northeast England as a world-scale hotbed of offshore wind development.

RWE won leases for its Dogger Bank South (East and West) projects of 3GW between them, adding to the German utility’s own 1.4GW Sofia and Equinor and SSE’s 3.6GW mega-development in the area.
