In February 2013, GE Renewable Energy's Grid Solutions business in Stafford won an order worth around £125m as part of a wider company contract to supply a grid connection to the DolWin offshore wind farm in the North Sea.
The DolWin3 project, owned by TenneT, will utilise high voltage direct current (HVDC) technology, designed and built in Stafford, GE's global centre of excellence for HVDC.
