It is a celebration mood at Vattenfall as the company completely connects its Vesterhav Syd offshore wind farm to the Danish grid. Construction on the 20 turbines lasted from July to September last year, with the first power delivered on November 10th, 2023.
Vattenfall had been connecting the turbines from the 168 MW offshore farm to the grid one by one since November.
Mathilde Damsgaard, project director for Vesterhav Syd and Nord at Vattenfall, said, “At Vattenfall, we are always happy when we finish an offshore wind farm and thereby contribute to fossil freedom.
“This time, we allow ourselves to be even more happy, since there is a cold winter in Denmark and Northern Europe where fossil-free and reliable electricity is of the essence.”
The Vesterhav Nord offshore wind farm is about 80 km from Syd and will generate 176 MW on completion. Vattenfall expects to completely connect it to the grid in Q1 2024.
