Dogger Bank in the UK, operated by Equinor, is set to become the largest offshore wind farm in the world.

A complementary expertise

Dogger Bank will benefit from the combination of Equinor and Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult. This partnership will operate throughout the United Kingdom. Equinor will benefit from ORE Catapult’s R&D experience in the offshore wind energy field.

Together with Dogger Bank, ORE Catapult and Equinor will invest in the technological preparation of offshore wind. Together, they focus on industry skills development and operations and maintenance initiatives. Their agreement also allows for improved turbine reliability/performance and energy integration.

A renewed partnership

ORE Catapult and Equinor are aligned on key areas such as support for the UK Offshore Wind Sector Deal. Both partners aim to accelerate innovation and opportunity development in clusters across the UK. Broader collaboration in the future could also include electrolysis for hydrogen and battery storage.

Trine Borum Bojsen, SVP North Sea Renewables at Equinor, says:

“We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with ORE Catapult, building on our relationship developed in the North East of England and around our floating wind project, Hywind Scotland, where we have already collaborated to share data. We look forward to working together on initiatives across the UK that will help develop a more competitive UK supply chain, deliver innovation and support the talent of tomorrow entering the industry. “

Equinor has been a partner in ORE Catapult’s Technology Innovation and Green Growth in Offshore Renewables (TIGGOR) program since its inception. The Norwegian company also supports ORE Catapult’s Launch Academy program in the UK.
