Project: Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm
Service: Construction Support – Onshore and Offshore
Location: North East UK
Project Size: 3.6GW
Overview: Dogger Bank, the world’s largest offshore wind farm upon completion, is 130-190 km off the North East Coast of England. Covering 599km2, it will comprise 277 x 13 and 14MW turbines, producing 3.6GW of clean energy, powering 6 million homes. Boston Energy is executing the project with a team of over 180 wind professionals.
Our Involvement: GE Vernova sought reliable partners to deliver critical services on the Dogger Bank project. Boston Energy successfully tendered and was selected to support key aspects of the project, including onshore commissioning and completion, offshore mechanical and electrical (M&E) work, and offshore commissioning.
Our role began with onshore snagging and commissioning, where we deployed a team of 120 highly skilled technicians, including Commissioning Technicians, Supervisors, Vessel Administrators, Mechanical and Electrical Technicians, and Rope Access Technicians. Meeting the client’s commitment to fostering local employment, Boston Energy sourced a significant portion of this workforce from the surrounding region.
Following a successful initial mobilisation, GE Vernova further entrusted Boston Energy with onshore Commissioning and Snagging operations, requiring an additional 60 technicians to be deployed on-site.
To streamline our operations, we established a dedicated office just seven miles from the project site. This hub serves as a central location for managing logistics, storing critical equipment, and supporting our teams in the field.
Operational Excellence: In line with GE Vernova’s efficiency targets, Boston Energy has deployed three vessels on two back-to-back rotations, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery.
Achievements So Far:
Nathan Fahey, Project Director at GE Vernova, said: “We have been working with Boston Energy since the contract award for offshore commissioning of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm and I’m really pleased to have them as a trusted partner as we move into the operational phase of the project. “I trust the team will deliver the expected results, at the quality and execution standards we want to provide to our customer. “We are very much looking forward to working with Boston Energy to help us deliver this fantastic project utilising our Haliade-X turbines. Delivering this project will significantly enhance the UK’s net zero ambitions and help make a substantial dent in CO2 emissions.”
