The Danish offshore wind farms Vesterhav Nord and Vesterhav Syd were officially inaugurated today by Danish Minister of Environment Magnus Heunicke, Vattenfall’s Head of Wind Helene Biström, and Country Manager for Vattenfall Denmark Anne Mette Traberg.These nearly identical wind farms are situated off the Danish west coast and comprise 41 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 8.4 MW. Located entirely within Danish waters, the turbines are positioned between 5.5 and 10 kilometres from the shore. The combined installed capacity is 344 MW, with Vesterhav Syd contributing 168 MW and Vesterhav Nord 176 MW. Each turbine tower stands 100 metres tall, and each turbine blade is 81.4 metres long. Operations and maintenance will be managed from Vattenfall’s service facility at Hvide Sande Port.
