The new holder of the world’s largest offshore wind farm title - Orsted’s Hornsea Two - has been declared fully operational.
The 1.3GW project, featuring 165 wind turbines, is run from Grimsby, where 400 direct jobs have been created across the farms. Valued at £6 billion and located almost 90km off the East Yorkshire coast, it has the capacity to power more than 1.4 million homes.
It takes the record from ‘little’ sister Hornsea One, the 1.2GW farm that sits alongside it, within a 2,000 sq km area of North Sea set to welcome two more projects in the coming years, bringing further jobs.
