Forewind - Delivering your Energy Future
Forewind is a consortium comprising four leading international energy companies which joined forces to bid for the Dogger Bank Zone Development Agreement as part of The Crown Estate’s third licence round for UK offshore wind farms (Round 3).
As development partner for Dogger Bank, the largest of the Round 3 zones, Forewind has the objective to achieve consent for an agreed target installed capacity of 9GW of offshore wind farm projects by 2020, however the zone has a potential for up to13GW. This figure equates to almost 10 per cent of the UK’s projected electricity requirements.
Forewind has begun to carry out the extensive surveys, assessments and planning required for the consent process. The consortium's commitment is to secure all the necessary consents for the construction and development of Dogger Bank, up to the point of investment decisions, the first of which is anticipated around late 2014.
