This area indicates Forewind's area of search for the cable corridor for the first of 12 projects in the Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm Zone. The area shown is based on a 1GW grid connection onshore and a desk assessment of known constraints in the area. Further studies will be conducted to narrow down this corridor further although the intention will remain to take the most direct and feasible (in terms of cable engineering) route. This will also be dependent on where exactly, within Tranche A, the first project is sited and hence where the cable will leave the Zone, which is also yet to be decided. Any restrictions to cabling activity in this area could make the project financially unviable due to the large associated costs of cabling.

This information was extracted from ESRIISO metadata (incorporating ISO and FGDC elements) using the EsriIsoToMedin xslt version 1.0;ISO Resource created in environment: Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.1.3500;FGDC Stated Purpose: Boundary of the Zone Development Envelope;FGDC Supplemental Info: National Grid will dictate where Forewind can connect to the onshore electricity grid for up to 12.8GW of offshore wind generation. Forewind will then need to connect cables from each of 12 projects within the Zone to these given onshore points. Offshore and onshore cabling is very expensive and hence to make a project financially viable Forewind will generally look to take the most direct and feasible (in terms of cable engineering) route from each project to a point on the shore near to the grid connection. Forewind has therefore highlighted the Zone Development Envelope as the area in which cabling could be required from the Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm Zone to the shore. Large restricted areas within which cabling is not allowed could make projects within the Zone financially unviable due to the large increased costs of cabling around such areas.
