The complete elevation of the 8.3 MW MHI Vestas wind turbines set up at Horns Rev 3 is 187 meters each and also each generator evaluates near 1,500 tonnes consisting of structure
Swedish state-owned power firm Vattenfall today formally opened up Denmark’s, Scandinavia’s and also Vattenfall’s biggest overseas wind ranch, Horns Rev 3 in an event participated in by HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark gone along with by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and also Minister of Climate, Energy and also Utilities Dan Jørgensen.
The 49 wind generators on Horns Rev 25-40 kilometres off Denmark’s west coastline in the North Sea will certainly raise the Danish power manufacturing from wind with around 12 percent. Enough to power the annual intake in 425,000 Danish families.
“Horns Rev 3 is the largest offshore wind farm in Scandinavia and shows our commitment to Denmark’s ongoing transition to a renewable energy system. The wind farm is a significant contribution to Vattenfall´s production portfolio and takes us one step further in our ambition to enable a fossil-free living within one generation”, claims Magnus Hall, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of Vattenfall.
The very first structure for Horns Rev 3 was put in the seabed in October 2017 and also the very first wind turbines started providing power to customers on 23 December 2018. During the building stage, the wind turbines were delivered from the Port of Esbjerg yet from 2024 they will certainly be serviced from the Port of Hvide Sande, where Vattenfall will certainly develop a brand-new solution center.
“It has taken less than two years from the first foundation was built until the inauguration of Horns Rev 3. An impressive achievement of our employees and partners who now have completed the largest offshore wind farm in Vattenfall’s portfolio. It proves Vattenfall’s position as a leading offshore developer and our commitment to making offshore wind a corner stone in a future fossil-free energy system”, claims Gunnar Groebler, Senior Vice President and also Head of Business Area Wind in Vattenfall.
Vattenfall won the right to construct Horns Rev 3 with a traditionally reduced quote in 2015 and also has ever since proceeded its initiative to supply financial investments in renewables while keeping success and also inexpensive.
In enhancement to Horns Rev 3 Vattenfall is building the overseas wind ranches Vesterhav Syd & & Nord and also Kriegers Flak including an overall of greater than 1.4 GW wind power ability to the Danish power system.
REALITIES HORNS REV 3
Horns Rev 3 will certainly be Denmark’s biggest overseas wind ranch and also improve the Danish power manufacturing from wind with around 12 percent.
With a capability of 407 MW Horns Rev 3 will certainly cover the yearly power intake of approx. 425,000 Danish families.
The complete elevation of the 8.3 MW MHI Vestas wind turbines is 187 meters and also each evaluates near 1,500 tonnes consisting of structure.
The Horns Rev 3 wind ranch lies in the North Sea 25-40 kilometres off the Danish West Coast.
REALITIES VATTENFALL’S WIND POWER
Vattenfall has greater than 1,200 wind generators. The biggest wind ranches are: Horns Rev 3 (Denmark, 407 MW), Thanet (U.K. 300 MW), Sandbank (Germany, 288 MW) and also Dan Tysk (Germany, 288 MW).
