The last wind turbine for the Horns Rev 3 offshore wind farm has been installed. The project, located off the Danish coast in the North Sea, was originally planned to be completed in 2020, but is now expected to be completed as early as May 2019.

Turbine installation began last year with the first of the 49 MHI Vestas V164-8.0 MW turbines installed on the 19th July. Work was completed using Fred. Olsen Windcarrier's jack-up vessel Brave Tern.The Port of Esbjerg was used as the project's installation and pre-assembly port.

When complete, the 406.7MW Vattenfall owned project is expected to be capable of providing enough power to satisfy the annual electricity consumption of 425,000 Danish households. It is located 20km from shore, near the Horns Rev 1 and Horns Rev 2 offshore wind farms.

Vattenfall is also currently developing the 610MW Kriegers Flak and 350MW Vesterhav Nord and Vesterhav Syd wind farms off the coast of Denmark.

Construction permission for Kriegers Flak was granted to Vattenfall in November 2016 with a winning bid of €49.9/MWh. The wind farm will also establish an interconnection between the Danish and German mainland grids via two subsea cables connecting Kriegers Flak to the Baltic 1 and Baltic 2 wind farms. This interconnector will therefore allow for an increased exchange of electricity between Denmark and Germany.

Vattenfall won the Danish near-shore wind tender for Vesterhav Nord and Vesterhav Syd back in September 2016 with a bid of DKK 475/MWh (€63.8/MWh). The two sites are located on the west coast of Jutland and will have a total capacity of 350MW. Vesterhav Syd will be the larger of the two sites with a 180MW capacity and Vesterhav Nord will have a 170MW capacity, both projects combined are expected to provide sustainable energy for 375,000 households annually.
