The Danish Energy Agency has granted RWE the offshore construction permit for its 1.1GW Danish offshore wind farm, Thor. RWE now has all necessary permits to begin construction at sea in spring 2025.
Early next year, RWE will prepare the seabed for construction, with foundation installation starting in spring. Turbine installation is scheduled to begin in 2026. Located approximately 22 kilometres off the west coast of Jutland, Thor will consist of 72 wind turbines (SG 14-236 DD). Half of the turbines will feature CO2-reduced steel towers, and 40 turbines will use recyclable rotor blades. Turbine installation will be carried out from the port of Esbjerg, while the port of Thorsminde will serve as the operations and maintenance base. Construction of RWE’s new service building is expected to start later this year. Thor is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2027.
