The Thor offshore wind power project in Denmark has recently made significant progress in construction. This wind farm, located 22 kilometers west of the Jutland Peninsula in the North Sea of Denmark, was jointly developed by German energy giant RWE (51% stake) and Norwegian bank investment management company (49% stake). The project team successfully completed the offshore installation of a 2600 ton substation upper module, which was constructed by HSM Offshore Energy in the Netherlands and lifted by Scaldis SMC's "Gulliver" heavy-duty crane vessel.

It is reported that the upper module of this 39 meter long and 18 meter high substation will form the power center system of the wind farm together with a 2500 ton pipeline foundation. The system is mainly responsible for boosting the electricity generated by the Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 DD wind turbine and ultimately connecting it to the Danish national grid. At present, the project construction is progressing in an orderly manner, and 36 of the 72 planned single pile foundations have been installed.

Energinet, the Danish national grid operator, successfully completed the construction of grid access facilities in June 2025, providing reliable guarantees for subsequent power transmission. The RWE project leader emphasized in an interview that the successful installation of the substation marks an important milestone for the Thor project, and the project team is steadily advancing according to the established plan to ensure full operation by 2027.

As the largest offshore wind power project in Denmark, the completion of Thor Wind Farm will significantly increase the proportion of renewable energy in the country's energy structure, providing strong support for Denmark to achieve its carbon neutrality goals. The smooth implementation of this project also fully demonstrates the important role of cross-border cooperation in promoting the global transition to clean energy.
