Source Intelligence
The Thor project will possess 72 offshore wind turbines that are all capable of generating up to 15 megawatts of electricity. The turbines are part of Siemens Gamesa’s SG 14-236 DD model. The installation vessel for it is Brave Tern, which is operated by Fred. Olsen Windcarrier. Onshore cabling work began in 2024, and the offshore construction activities began in 2025. This includes the installation of monopile foundations and the offshore substation. Some of the wind turbines will use recyclable rotor blades. Each turbine will rise roughly 148 meters above sea level and use rotor blades measuring about 115 meters in length. The project is predicted to become Denmark's largest offshore wind farm and is described as the largest offshore wind facility ever built in Denmark.
