STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – The Danish Energy Agency has granted Germany’s largest power producer RWE permission to build its planned Thor North Sea wind farm, which will be the Nordic country’s largest offshore wind farm to date.
RWE won a tender in 2021 to build the wind farm, which will have capacity of more than 1 gigawatt.
“When the park is in operation at the end of 2027 at the latest, it will be able to supply green electricity equivalent to the electricity consumption of one million households,” the agency said in a statement.
