INDUSTRY ARTICLE


ONGOING Dogger Bank Teesside will be Forewind’s second stage of development and will consist of a maximum of four wind farm projects. Two of the projects are planned to connect at an existing substation in Lackenby. The other two connections are likely to be at a new substation to be located at a site to be defined, in the industrial area south of the Tees Estuary and relatively close to Lackenby.

CONSULTATION The first phase of consultation began in December 2011 and presented two options for landfall and a number of potential sectors for the onshore converter stations location. Through the consultation, the southern landfall – between Barmston and Ulrome on the Holderness coast – was identified as preferred. A local working group was also initiated to help micro-site the converter stations.


PROGRESS SO FAR Work on the Environmental Impact Assessment for Dogger Bank Creyke Beck, including surveys, studies and ongoing reporting, is well underway with the second consultation planned for early 2013.


LOCAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT In April 2012, Forewind published its Statement of Community Consultation for the proposed Dogger


Bank Teesside development and its associated infrastructure to explain how it would consult with the local community including technical consultees and landowners, as well as others who work in or use the area, both offshore and onshore.


The first phase of consultation began in May 2012 to explain the site selection work done to date, including the results of initial ecological studies and the process to narrow down the locations of the offshore wind farms, landfalls and converter stations.


PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT REVISION Dr Clarke said that Forewind has recently revised its programme of development and intends to submit its first development consent order application – for Dogger Bank Creyke Beck – in mid 2013. The Dogger Bank Teesside application will follow in 2014.

“I am hugely proud of what everyone at Forewind has already achieved and I am looking forward to delivering the next stage.”
