Forewind http://www.forewind.co.uk/ • Statoil and Statkraft is very content with huge contract on building a park of windmills in UK sector on Dogger Bank. They are partners in a consortium together with RWE, Npower and Scottish and Southern Windmillpark on Dogger Bank Energy PLC (SSE). • CEO Baard Mikkelsen, Statkraft says that to go for this project is consistent with their strategy to give the world more clean and renewable ”Forewind” energy. The growth in this type of energy will come from windpower. On Dogger Bank we will be able to use our knowledge from our landbased windmillparks. In addition we will gain new competance in developing By seabased windpower. Harald Oestensjoe • Statoil sees windpower as a strategic area for windpower as the new form of energy. Manager • Margareth Ovrum, pres. of Technology and New Energy in Statoil says: Southern Norway Trawlers Association ”Our goal is to mature the projects on Dogger Bank up to the point of making a decision to invest. Hopefully these projects will be profitable and technically realizable. Dogger Bank is a challenge where our competance from the oil and gas business offshore will be of significance. ” • Both Statoil and Statkraft are previously involved in building out the 315 megawatt windmillpark at Sheringham Shoal in UK waters.
