Equinor is a global energy company, employing over 650 people in the UK.
With a firm ambition to be an offshore wind major, Equinor operates three UK offshore wind farms including Dudgeon and Sheringham Shoal, off the Norfolk coast.
Using decades of floating offshore experience, Equinor has pioneered floating offshore wind technology and in 2017 opened the world's first floating offshore wind farm, Hywind Scotland.
With its partner SSE Renewables, Equinor is building Dogger Bank, the world ’s largest offshore wind farm.
The Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm is owned by Equinor, Masdar and China Resources Power, whilst Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm is owned by Equinor, Equitix and Green Investment Group.
Currently, the combined output of both wind farms is sufficient to power around 750,000 UK homes. Equinor is proposing to extend both wind farms which would double its offshore wind capacity in Norfolk, enough to power around 1.5 million UK households.

Both wind farms have established community funds which in total have awarded over £1 million to projects in Norfolk. The funds were set up to provide grants to Norfolk community groups, including schools and NGOs, seeking financial assistance for projects or initiatives that meet key criteria and focus on renewable energy, marine environment and safety, sustainability, or education in these areas. For the remaining months of 2020 the funds will be providing grant funding to the Norfolk Community Foundation‘s COVID-19 funding initiatives, specifically for COVID-19 support initiatives in Norfolk.
As a broad energy company, Equinor is the UK’s largest supplier of crude oil and the largest supplier of natural gas too, meeting more than 25% of UK demand. It operates the Mariner oil field, and has low carbon interests in both Hydrogen and CCUS.
