The Danish Energy Agency has granted a 30-year electricity production licence to the Thor offshore wind farm. The project has an installed capacity of more than 1 GW and is expected to supply renewable electricity equivalent to around one million Danish households when fully operational in 2027.
Construction is progressing as planned. The offshore substation and all foundations for 72 wind turbines were installed last year, 22 kilometres off the west coast of Jutland. Turbine installation is scheduled to begin this spring from the Port of Esbjerg in Denmark.
Thor is a joint project between RWE (51%) and Norges Bank Investment Management (49%). RWE is responsible for construction and operations throughout the project lifecycle.
