Dong said the three projects – Den Helder 1, Breeveertien II and West-Rijn – have a total consented capacity of up to 1.05GW in the North Sea.

The Danish energy group paid SSE about €2.3m ($3.13m) upfront for the 50% it did not already own.

That will be followed by a further up to €12m if the projects proceed past certain milestones.
