UK: ABB has delivered and installed three shunt reactors in the onshore substation of the Hornsea Project Two offshore wind farm in the UK.
In April 2018, Ørsted and Balfour Beatty started the construction of the onshore substation in North Killingholme.
The project’s 39 km onshore cable route runs from Horseshoe Point, east of Tetney, to the substation site which is adjacent to the Hornsea Project One onshore substation.
Hornsea Two will comprise 165 Siemens Gamesa 8 MW turbines mounted on monopile foundations some 89 km north-east of Grimsby.
The 1.4 GW offshore wind project is scheduled to be commissioned in 2022.
