Siemens Gamesa Will Supply 14 MW Turbines for Offshore Project in the North Sea, Norfolk Coast, with Tax Incentives and Converter Station.
Orsted confirmed the final investment in its Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm, located in the North Sea, approximately 120 km from the Norfolk coast and 160 km from the Yorkshire coast in England. With a capacity of 2,900 MW, the project will be the third gigawatt-scale project for the company in the Hornsea zone, following Hornsea 1 (1.2 GW) and Hornsea 2 (1.3 GW). The completion of Hornsea 3 is scheduled for the end of 2027, with Siemens Gamesa supplying SG 14-236 DD offshore wind turbines, capable of generating 14 MW of power, excluding final decision.
