DBD Array Area and Scoping BoundariesSSE and Equinor, co-developers of the proposed Dogger Bank D fourth phase of Dogger Bank Wind Farm, have established commercial terms with The Crown Estate around an amendment to the existing Dogger Bank C seabed lease.

This is subject to the outcome of the plan-level Habitats Regulation Assessment (HRA) associated with The Crown Estate’s wider Capacity Improvement Programme. Announced in 2023, Dogger Bank D has a potential capacity of up to 2GW. Before a final decision is taken on the Capacity Improvement Programme, The Crown Estate is required to undertake a plan-level Habitats Regulation Assessment (HRA) to assess the implications of the programme for protected habitats. The HRA seeks to understand the collective environmental impact of the additional capacity across all seven projects.

The commercial terms established by project shareholders SSE and Equinor with The Crown Estate lay the groundwork to progress Dogger Bank D, subject to the satisfactory outcome of the HRA. If Dogger Bank D progresses, it will also be subject to any additional provision which may need to be made to secure mitigation or compensatory measures in light of the findings of the HRA.
