The two organisations agree to a 50/50 joint venture which will look to build three of four Dogger Bank offshore windfarms off the coast of Yorkshire.
Once completed the fields will generate a total capacity of 4.8GW.
Statoil and SSE will work together on the Dogger Bank Creyke Beck A, Dogger Bank Creyke Beck B and Dogger Bank Teesside A, which total 3.6GW.
The remaining project, Dogger Bank Teesside B will be progressed by innogy
Mike Seaton, Director of Development at SSE, said: “SSE is delighted to partner with Statoil to progress the three Dogger Bank Projects. This partnership, along with SSE’s stake in the £2.6bn Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Limited offshore project in the Moray Firth, confirms our ongoing commitment to the development of our offshore wind portfolio.”
“Each project represents a significant offshore development in its own right. We’re looking forward to working closely with Statoil to consider all of the options available to us in order to develop these projects further.”
