Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm enters full operation

Ørsted has announced that the Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm is now fully operational. The 1.3GW offshore wind farm comprises 165 wind turbines and is located 89km off the Yorkshire Coast.

 

The wind farm is situated alongside its sibling Hornsea 1. The Hornsea zone, an area of the North Sea covering more than 2,000 km2, is also set to include Hornsea 3. The 2.8 GW project is planned to follow Hornsea 2 having been awarded a contract for difference from the UK government earlier this year.
