Renewable energy company Ørsted has decided to move forward with the development of the renewable energy sector. offshore wind farm world’s largestHornsea 3 will take place 160 kilometers from the coast of Britain Dand yorkshireIt will have a capacity of 2.9 gigawatts and will be completed by the end of 2027.
The Danish company announced in its statement that it has made its final decision on the investment, which will be the third park investment in the same region after Hornsea 1 (1.2 gigawatts) and Hornsea 2 (1.3 GW), which Ørsted currently operates. and lives in the UK port city of Grimsby.

Operates 12 parks in total Ørsted, which won the tender in July 2022, reminded that it is an expert in offshore wind energy in the UK.
Speaking of a “possible future merger” of Hornsea 4, the energy company said: “Building on a well-established supply chain and synergies with Hornsea 1 and 2, Hornsea 3 has a solid risk-reward profile (…).” .
IT It will mean the creation of an offshore wind farm of over 7 GW and said it would unlock more projects from the group. Siemens Gamesa will supply SG 14-236 DD offshore wind turbines with a capacity of 14 MW excluding power increase. It has a capacity of 2.9 GW, Hornsea 3 will generate enough low-cost, renewable electricity to power more than 3.3 million homes in the UK.
It will create up to 5,000 jobs during the construction phase and up to 1,200 permanent jobs both directly and in the supply chain during the long operation phase.
Once the wind farm is commissioned, Ørsted’s Hornsea trio of Hornsea 1, 2 and 3 will have a total capacity of more than 5 GW, making it the largest operational offshore wind farm in the world.
The Hornsea region will also include Ørsted’s Hornsea 4 project, which could have a capacity of up to 2.6 GW.
