据9月20日Neftegaz.RU.报道，英国当局今天宣布，挪威国家石油公司（Equinor）及其合作伙伴英国电力公司SSE获得了在北海Dogger Bank地区开发3个大型海上风电项目的合同。
这将是世界上最大的海上风电场开发项目，总装机容量为3.6吉瓦。这些项目产生的能源，预计可为450万户英国家庭供电。
Dogger Bank风电场将包括三个项目:Creyke Beck A、Creyke Beck B和Teesside A。
竞标结果反映出成本的持续下降和技术的发展，以及海上风力发电日益增强的竞争力。这些合同为前15年的运营提供固定价格，为项目提供了长期可预测的收入流。
据估计，在2020年至2026年期间，Dogger Bank的项目将引发约102亿欧元的总资本投资。清算价格约为每兆瓦45欧元。
合作伙伴计划在2020年对第一个项目进行最终投资决策，并计划在2023年实现首次发电。此后将开发Dogger Bank项目的下一个阶段。
这些协议是根据英国国家电网代表英国商业、能源和产业战略部(BEIS)举行的价差合约(CfD)竞争性拍卖合同获得的。BEIS已成功委托6千兆瓦的海上风电，以实现到2030年30千兆瓦的海上风电目标。

Equinor and SSE will develop the world’s biggest offshore wind farm
UK authorities announced today that Equinor and its partner SSE were awarded contracts to develop 3 large scale offshore wind projects in the Dogger Bank region of the North Sea.
This will be the world’s biggest offshore wind farm development with a total installed capacity of 3.6 GW. The projects are expected to produce enough energy to power the equivalent of 4.5 million UK homes.
The Dogger Bank wind farm will consist of 3 projects: Creyke Beck A, Creyke Beck B and Teesside A.
The auction results reflect the continued cost reductions and technological developments and the increasing competitiveness of bottom-fixed offshore wind. The contracts offer a fixed price for the first 15 years of operation, providing the projects with a long-term predictable revenue stream.
The Dogger Bank projects are estimated to trigger a total capital investment of approximately 10.2 billion EUR between 2020 and 2026. The clearing price is around 45 euros per megawatt-hour.
The partners are planning for final investment decision for the 1st project during 2020 and 1st power generation is planned for 2023. Further phases of the Dogger Bank project will be developed thereafter.
The awards were given under the Contracts for Difference (CfD) competitive auction held by National Grid on behalf of the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) which has successfully commissioned 6 GW of offshore wind to reach a target of 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030.
