The UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has granted development consent for two Dogger Bank South (DBS) offshore wind farms, Dogger Bank South West and Dogger Bank South East, which are planned to have a combined installed capacity of 3 GW.

RWE and Masdar, which acquired a 49 per cent stake in the DBS project in 2024, said on 14 May that they would now conduct detailed final design work and progress procurement decisions with the aim of taking a final investment decision (FID) in 2027.
