Siemens Gamesa has begun shipping blades for Denmark’s 1 GW Thor offshore wind farm from its manufacturing facility in Le Havre, France, marking another milestone for one of Europe’s largest offshore wind projects.


The first 115-metre blades produced at the Le Havre plant are now en route to the project site, with the facility expected to manufacture a total of 63 blades for the development.


Thor offshore wind farm will utilise 72 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 offshore wind turbines and is set to become Denmark’s largest offshore wind project once fully operational.


The deliveries also mark the first blades manufactured following the expansion of Siemens Gamesa’s Le Havre facility, which serves as a key offshore wind manufacturing hub for the European market.


Developed by RWE in the Danish North Sea, the Thor offshore wind farm will have a total installed capacity of more than 1 GW.
