Swedish energy company has achieved a significant milestone with the complete connection of its 168MW Vesterhav Syd offshore wind farm to the power . The project, featuring 20 wind turbines, witnessed construction activities from July to September of the previous year.

Vattenfall marked a key moment on November 10, 2023, when the first power from Vesterhav Syd was delivered. Subsequently, the turbines were systematically integrated into the grid, culminating in the wind farm's full operational readiness.

Mathilde Damsgaard, the project director for Vesterhav Syd and Nord at Vattenfall, expressed satisfaction with the accomplishment, emphasizing the added significance during the current cold winter in Denmark and Northern Europe. Damsgaard stated, “At Vattenfall, we are always happy when we finish an offshore wind farm and thereby contribute to fossil freedom. This time, we allow ourselves to be even more happy, since there is a cold winter in Denmark and Northern Europe where fossil-free and reliable is of the essence.”
