A ground-breaking ceremony has been held at the Port of Thorsminde to mark the official start of construction of a service base for RWE’s Thor offshore wind farm.
With a planned capacity of more than one GW, Thor will be Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm to date. A team of 50 to 60 people will work from the new building and will operate and maintain the wind farm in shifts.
The construction works are scheduled to take around 12 months to complete. The service building will cover 2,300 square metres across three floors and will comprise a control room to monitor and manage wind farm activities, warehousing, open and daylight-lit office facilities and a conference room, as well as a lounge-like canteen and rooftop terrace. The team expects to move into the new service base at the end of 2025. From spring 2026 onwards, crew transfer vessels will take workers offshore on a daily basis. RWE plans to support its wind farm from Thorsminde for at least 30 years.
