Denmark: HSM Offshore Energy has begun construction of the Thor Offshore High Voltage Station (OHVS) project for RWE.
The steel cutting ceremony took place at the HSM Offshore Energy yard in Schiedam, in the Netherlands, and both structures, the offshore substation and the jacket, will be built there. RWE, the owner and developer of the 1 GW Thor offshore wind farm in the Danish North Sea, selected the company and its key subcontractors, Iv-Offshore & Energy and GE Renewable Energy, for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning of the offshore high voltage substation and its jacket foundation in 2022.
The selection was based on HSM Offshore Energy’s experience and technical knowledge in creating a highly efficient design for the offshore substation and the jacket foundation for RWE’s Thor offshore wind farm off Denmark. The design has been able to reduce the use of structural steel and the energy needed during manufacturing, with steel sourcing and fabrication in Europe.
