The construction of the Thor Offshore High Voltage Station (OHVS) project for RWE has officially started. A steel-cutting ceremony took place at the HSM Offshore Energy yard in Schiedam (Netherlands).Both structures, the offshore substation and the jacket, will be built here. HSM Offshore Energy, together with its key subcontractors Iv-Offshore & Energy and GE Renewable Energy, was awarded the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning of the offshore high-voltage substation and its jacket foundation in 2022. The open design of the substation will have a capacity of more than 1,000MW and an overall weight below 3000 MT. RWE will build the Thor wind farm off the Danish west coast, approximately 22 kilometres from Thorsminde on the west coast of Jutland. To connect the wind farm to the Danish grid, RWE will build two new substations, one at sea and one on land.
