Diamond Transmission Partners Hornsea One (DTP) has signed an agreement to acquire $1.63bn (£1.175bn) of transmission assets from Hornsea 1.

DTP is a partnership between Mitsubishi Corp’s wholly owned subsidiary Diamond Transmission Corp and Chubu Electric Power. Ørsted and Global Infrastructure Partners equally own Hornsea 1 as a joint venture.

The deal includes an onshore substation, export cables, the offshore reactive compensation substation, and three offshore substations.

The sale of the assets will take place in line with the offshore transmission owner  regime.

Ørsted has agreed to operate and maintain the transmission assets for DTP under a long-term agreement.

The UK’s energy regulator Ofgem selected DTP as preferred bidder for the offshore transmission licence for the Hornsea 1 Offshore Wind Farm last February.
