Energy company RWE has selected Schiedam-based HSM Offshore Energy as preferred foundation and jacket supplier for the 1 GW Thor offshore wind farm off the Danish coast.
HSM is the preferred supplier for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of the offshore high voltage substation including MV/ HV package and its jacket foundation.
RWE will build the Thor wind farm off the Danish west coast – approximately 22 km from Thorsminde on the west coast of Jutland. With a planned capacity of 1,000 MW, Thor will be Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm to date. Thor would be capable of producing enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of more than one million Danish households.
HSM Offshore Energy together with its engineering subcontractor Iv-Offshore & Energy has already successfully delivered several offshore substations for Energinet in the Danish North Sea. According to the company they created a highly efficient design for RWE’s Thor substation and jacket which reduces the use of structural steel and the energy needed during manufacturing – with steel sourcing and fabrication in Europe.
