The project emphasizes sustainable technology, featuring recyclable rotor blades and turbine towers made of greener steel.

In April 2023, RWE contracted Chinese company Dajin Offshore and German firm EEW SPC to provide the 36 foundations for the turbines, which have already arrived at the project's onshore base in Eemshaven, Netherlands.

Onshore preparations are already underway in Lemvig municipality, including cable laying and the construction of a substation, with foundation installation scheduled to start in early 2024.

Turbine installations are planned to commence in 2026, utilizing the Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 DD wind turbines.

RWE is a leader in offshore wind energy, currently operating 19 farms and aiming to triple its global offshore wind capacity to 10 GW by 2030.

The Danish Energy Agency has granted RWE the offshore construction permit for the Thor wind farm, Denmark's largest, which is set to begin preparations in early 2025.

Located approximately 22 kilometers off the west coast of Jutland, the Thor wind farm will consist of 72 Siemens turbines, with half featuring CO2-reduced steel towers and the other half utilizing recyclable rotor blades.

Once operational by the end of 2027, the Thor wind farm is expected to produce 1.1 GW of renewable energy, enough to power over one million households in Denmark.

The turbine installation will be conducted from the port of Esbjerg, with the port of Thorsminde serving as the operations and maintenance base, creating approximately 50-60 local jobs.

RWE secured the concession to build the Thor wind farm in late 2021, marking a significant step in Denmark's renewable energy initiatives.

Construction of a new service building by RWE is anticipated to start later in 2024, further supporting the development of the Thor wind farm.

A consortium of Dutch contractor Jan De Nul and Greece's Hellenic Cables will be responsible for supplying and installing the electrical systems for the wind farm.
