Forewind, development partner for the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm zone, has signed an agreement with National Grid for two 1GW grid connections potentially located in Teesside.
Subject to the results of technical studies, yet to be completed, indications are that both grid connections could be at an existing NationalGrid substation site at Lackenby, east of Middlesborough. In March last year Forewind accepted a 1GW grid connection offer made by National Grid to connect its first project into the existing Creyke Beck substation, north of the Humber Estuary in East Riding of Yorkshire. This latest signing will enable Forewind to proceed with the development of two more 1GW projects.
