en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Dogger Bank South offshore wind project, jointly developed by RWE and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC (Masdar), has received development consent from the UK government. The approval was granted by Lord Whitehead on behalf of the UK Secretary of State for Energy, covering the DBS East and DBS West wind farms.

The two wind farms are expected to have a total installed capacity of 3 GW, generating enough electricity annually to meet the needs of approximately 3 million UK households. Located over 100 kilometers off the northeast coast of England, the project will bring economic opportunities to Yorkshire, the Humber region, and the wider UK.

In January 2026, the two projects secured Contracts for Difference (CfD) with the UK government under Allocation Round 7 (AR7). The application for the Development Consent Order was submitted in June 2024, with the Planning Inspectorate reviewing over 1,000 documents and holding 10 online hearings.

The project is being developed by a joint venture between RWE (51% stake) and Masdar (49% stake). The partners will continue to advance detailed final design and procurement decisions, targeting a Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2027.
