(depiction of the total area occupied by DBWF) Dogger Bank Wind Farm (DBWF) Building the world's largest offshore wind farm   Dogger Bank A is around 515km² in size and is 131km from shore at its closest point. Dogger Bank B is the largest in area with a size of 599km² and is also 131km from shore at its nearest point. The electricity from both will come ashore via subsea cables at Ulrome, in the East Riding area of Yorkshire, connecting to underground cables for a further 30km to the Creyke Beck substation near Cottingham, where the electricity will join the national grid. Dogger Bank C is around 560km² in size and at its closest point is 196km from shore. The project will connect to the national grid at the existing Lackenby Substation in Teesside.
