Hornsea is already partially in operation offshore wind farm in the EEZ of the United Kingdom in the North Sea . It consists of four sub-areas. Hornsea Project One was built from January 2017 to October 2019; its 174 wind turbines have a combined installed capacity of 1,218 megawatts (MW). The sub-project Project Two (see below ) will have an installed capacity of 1,386 MW and when commissioned (planned for 2022) will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world.
Hornsea Project One
The Danish energy group Ørsted (2002 to 2017 DONG Energy) developed and implemented the Hornsea Project One sub-project . The wind farm has 174 wind turbines of the type Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154 ; together these have a nominal output of 1,218 MW. The costs were forecast at 2.65 billion euros. In autumn 2018, Ørsted sold 50% of the wind farm under construction for 4.46 billion GBP (approx. 5 billion euros) to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), the largest infrastructure fund in the world. The area, which is 120 kilometers off England's east coast, is 407 km². Ørsted received the rights to the project from the UK government in February 2015. In November 2016 it was announced that the EEW Group is supplying 116 monopiles for the wind farm. A total of 91,800 tons of steel were processed at the EEW site in Rostock from March 2017 to April 2018.
construction
The first foundation for Hornsea One was installed in January 2018; In October 2018, 87 monopiles and thus half of the foundations were installed. The installation vessel Bold Tern (from Fred. Olsen & Co. ) installed 91 wind turbines (WKA) and the installation vessel Sea Challenger (from A2SEA ) installed the remaining 83. The two installation vessels are identical ; the first wind turbine went into operation in February 2019 and the last in October 2019. The wind farm has been fully operational since the end of 2019.
Hornsea Project Two
Hornsea Project Two is being built on an area of 480 square kilometers approximately 90 kilometers off the coast of Yorkshire . 165 Siemens Gamesa SG 8.0-167 DD turbines will have a total nominal output of 1,386 MW. Ørsted won the tender and is developing the project.
The water depth there is 30 to 40 meters. The amount of electricity is supposed to supply 1.6 million households with electricity. The investment volume will amount to 7 billion euros.
By Contract for Difference - Tender secure electricity price is 57.50 pounds per MWh . The low bid and award value results from the scale effect of the size of the wind farm. The final investment decision for the project was made on September 11, 2017. Construction work on the construction site began in late summer 2019 and operations are scheduled to begin in 2022. The Buss Terminal of the Buss Energy Group in Eemshaven in the Netherlands serves as the base port . The foundations have been in place on the construction site since March 2020.
Hornsea Project Three
In the Hornsea Project Three area , wind turbines with capacities of up to 2.4 GW could be installed, which could supply more than two million British households. The period for the planned construction work is specified from 2022 to 2025. Up to 300 wind turbines are planned.
