They will develop two Dogger Bank South offshore wind farms.

Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC – Masdar and RWE have welcomed the decision of the United Kingdom’s Energy Secretary’s legal authority to approve the Development Consent Order for the two Dogger Bank South (DBS) offshore wind farms.
