Renewable energy producer SSE PLC has said the bad weather that hampered its wind farms’ power generation last year could delay the completion of the major Dogger Bank A wind farm.
In a Q3 trading statement today, the firm said that construction of part of the world’s largest offshore wind farm was affected by challenging weather, supply chain delays and vessel availability, with the continuation of the latter meaning that further delays are expected, possibly until 2025.
The company said it does not expect this delay to affect the returns of the project.
SSE also said output across its 30 wind farm operations was 1.3TWh or around 15 per cent behind plan for the nine months to 31 December 2023, due to “exceptionally still and dry weather conditions,” and short-term power outages. https://www.cityam.com/stormy-weather-hits-sses-output-and-delays-construction-of-worlds-largest-wind-farm/
