1GW Thor offshore wind farm granted production licence

With foundations complete and turbines due for installation this spring, RWE expects full operations by 2027.

The Danish Energy Agency has granted a 30-year electricity production licence to the Thor offshore wind farm, marking a significant milestone for what will become Denmark’s largest offshore wind project. With an anticipated total installed capacity of 1.1GW, Thor is expected to be fully operational by 2027.

Construction of Thor is progressing according to plan. Last year, the offshore substation and all foundations for the 72 wind turbines were successfully installed 22km off the west coast of Jutland. Turbine installation is scheduled to commence from the Port of Esbjerg, Denmark, this coming spring.

The Thor wind farm is a joint project by RWE (51%) and Norges Bank Investment Management (49%). RWE will manage construction and operations throughout the life cycle of the project.

Pernille Asgaard Haaning, CEO of RWE Renewables Denmark, commented: “This represents a key milestone on our journey to deliver Denmark’s largest offshore wind project. Once all turbines are fully operational, Thor will play a crucial role in achieving Denmark’s climate goals and in strengthening both Denmark’s and the EU’s energy security.”
